[ErrorException] Use of undefined constant FT_UID - assumed 'FT_UID'

[Reegan01]

Hi,

I got this error
[ErrorException] Use of undefined constant FT_UID - assumed 'FT_UID' when I add your provider and alias into config\app.php inside the arrays of providers and aliases . Your document also wrongly indicate to add the provider and alias inside config/imap.php please check the document and change to config/app.php

Thanks for your contribution to the open source world.

Thanks for your reply,

So, based on your README.md I want to add the provider to config/app.php and alias to config/imap.php correct?

I had this error when my hadn't installed php IMAP module in my xammp.

Now working perfect and fast in my online server. Thanks @Webklex for your contribution.

I have a query, Now I can list and view my inbox in my Dashboard. But I also want to compose mail from dashboard. So what I want to use for compose mail ? For compose mail If I use Laravel default SMTP mail option, Is that mail will save automatically in my online mail server(send items folder) ?

[Webklex]

@Reegan01 yes you are right, for sending mail you should consider to use the "native" laravel Mail class. They have a well documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/mail

I've been struggling with this error for the past 3 hours. I un-installed and re-installed a number of times. Turns out all I had to do is "valet restart" after following the instructions on here.

[Reegan01]

@AndreVME you must add the provider and alias in config/app.php page. Not in the config/imap.php page.

I solved this by installing php-imap module and uncommenting php_imap.dll in php.ini

[aminefilali1]

I had the same issue and I resolve it by installing PHP IMAP extension :
for Linux: sudo apt-get install phpX.X-imap

[devinhyden]

@aminefilali1 Thank you. I installed it on development and forgot to in production

[Loafer19]

php.ini must include the IMAP extension

I'm sorry if I "re-open" a closed issue, I think this is relevent here.

I'm a archlinux user and my distro just stoped supporting php-imap for security resons and I know that when arch does something usually after several month, other distro do kinda the same.

So I was wondering... is there an alternative to make this work ? I don't really know the project too much I'm just looking on the internet for a solution since about an hour and kinda figured this out, I hope this is kinda the right place to go. I'm just trying to install freescout tho.
