While preparing updates to our PHP packages I think it's now time to
retire the abandoned imap package:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/imap/

The last upstream version was from 2007 and the upstream website is
gone for many years now. I doubt anyone actually uses the imap server;
its main use is probably to compile the php-imap extension (which also
might get removed by upstream in the future). Redhat and Fedora
removed the library last year. Therefore I'd like to remove imap,
c-client and php-imap. php-imap is currently optionally required by
nextcloud and postfixadmin; likely to authenticate against a third
party IMAP server.

Greetings,

Pierre
