Webklex/laravel-imap

Is the php extension mcrypt still a requirement?

It looks as if the requirement for the mcrypt extension results from this issue: #129. But as mentioned there, this extension was a requirement of laravel/framework 5.0 (and not laravel-imap itself) and was removed in Laravel 5.1.

Maybe it should be removed from the installation requirement section? The extension seems also a bit outdated.

@larsbo and @ricardovanderspoel , did you guys get any solution to make it work without mcrypt extension?

I tried installing mcrypt in php 8.1 which is not working.

@amitleuva1987
just install the package with composer require webklex/laravel-imap without worrying about mcrypt.
The readme is outdated and the extension is not necessary any longer.

Hi @larsbo ,
many thanks for asking and providing an answer as well. I've just updated the readme and removed the mcrypt reference.

Best regards

Could you please also update the documentation site pages to reflect this dropped requirement?
