are you sure you are altering the correct php.ini? You can check that using phpinfo() as well. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php — Andresch Serj, Apr 23 '14 at 11:31

On Ubuntu and debian a better way is to enable it this way:

sudo apt install php-imap
sudo phpenmod imap
sudo service apache2 restart

On CentOS7+

sudo yum install php-imap

On Ubuntu (<= 14.04) and debian (<= Weezy)

sudo apt-get install php5-imap
sudo php5enmod imap
sudo service apache2 restart

If you are using LAMP server,

First install IMAP using the command on terminal

$ sudo apt-get install php5-imap

Then add this extension=imap.so code to your php.ini file

Restart your server,

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

It will work

not the nice way to modify manually some config files which are managed by debian/ubuntu packaging tools or php-tools. – hkais Apr 20 '15 at 15:21
also forgot, since ubuntu 14.04 you have to restart your services with service apache2 restart – hkais Apr 20 '15 at 15:35
