As I said before, the reported bug[1] was set to "not a bug".

Actually I was wrong.  I tested with some recent PHP version (5.4.7),
and there the problem occured; but now I have checked the IMAP version
in use, and it is 2007e, despite the latest version is 2007f, for
whatever reason.

However, I made the following test script:

| $mbox = imap_open($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/imap/mbox', '', '');
| var_dump($mbox);

On my local Windows XP machine with PHP 5.4.7 this prints:

| Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream C:/xampp/htdocs
| /exp/imap/mbox in C:\xampp\htdocs\exp\imap\index.php on line 5
| boolean false
| Notice: Unknown: Can't open mailbox C:/xampp/htdocs/exp/imap/mbox:
| no such mailbox (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0

On a Linux server with PHP 5.3.5 (IMAP version 2007e) it prints:

| resource(2) of type (imap)

Of course that is no proof, that imap_open() can't open an mbox file on
Windows, but it is some evidence at least.
