In response to Mathias Rav's comment.

While imap_mail might have this $rpath bug, it is hardly comparable to mail, because mail only uses the default send mail server account, and not a real mailbox, which you can programmatically interrogate and clean up.

Using the imap extension allows proper mail management and operation, like users not getting the cryptic server account name followed by 'on behalf of' the 'From' address that mail sourced emails show on some recipient clients.
