Hello Karl, I believe that for the time being using a custom runtime would be the best way for you to use the imap extension.
There is an existing feature request <https://issuetracker.google.com/35896390> for the imap extension to be added to App Engine's PHP, but it has not received a lot of attention from the community, meaning it is less likely to be picked up by engineering. You can show your interest for a feature by clicking the "Me too" button at the top of the interface. You can see a list of the most voted for AppEngine issues here <https://b.corp.google.com/savedsearches/559750>.
