My scenario is simple. I'm presenting to the user list of all his threads with summary. User than can pick one to view all messages in this conversation. After user picks anything getThread() works fine but there was a problem presenting whole list of threads. In fact I''m presenting last 50 but IMAP does not allow paging in thread so I've managed this on my own. Thankfully horde cache kicks in. Anyway. II'm attaching patch with getThreads() method that result with same array of threads with the same structures that are returned from getThread(). Best regards

getThread() requires UID. For the record, it could also be a sequence number. It depends on the options passed to Horde_Imap_Client_Base::thread(). So first I've got to fetch all messages to get UIDs, then fetch threads one by one. Not sure what you mean by you have to fetch all messages to get UIDs. You shouldn't have to fetch anything else from the server after the call to $imapOb->thread() to get UUIDs. Horde_Imap_Client_Data_Thread::messageList() will return the (sorted) list of all UUIDs that matched the search option in the thread() call. While this list doesn't give you the thread structure, it would be fairly easy to construct it by iterating once through the messageList(). Not sure exactly what your use case is here for having access to the entire mailbox's thread sort like this, but I can see where they may be some value in having that data exposed. I'd consider a patch that outputs this as a more formal structure.

I now it was removed but there is still no alternative. When I want to show all threads there is now easy way. getThread() requires UID. So first I've got to fetch all messages to get UIDs, then fetch threads one by one. In this usage getThread() is really a performance issue because in each call it go through whole array. In mailbox that has few thousand messages should I call few thousand times getThread() and any single time getThread() will search through whole cached array. Instead getThread() there could be getThreads() that will return same structure for all threads. If this would be acceptable I will be happy to provide a patch.

This was removed over 7 years ago, when version 2.0.0 of this library was released. The data that getRawData() would expose is considered internal to the class. The data structure may change, be improved etc.... exposing it publicly introduces restrictions on what we can change without breaking backwards compatibility.

In class Horde_Imap_Client_Data_Thread why there is no getRawData() method any more?? There was one some time ago, before internal format changed. Now you can only iterate through getThread() and every time it's called there is a loop across all threads. It's OK when I just want to show information about one thread but when I want to show all threads in a list in large mailboxes it's a real performance issue. Simple getRawData() returning internal data would allow to customize this.
