Description:
------------
IMAP connection throws notices on failure which are not suppressed even 
by @

Notice: Unknown: Retrying PLAIN authentication after Login failed. 
(errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0

Notice: Unknown: Retrying PLAIN authentication after Login failed. 
(errflg=1) in Unknown on line 0

Notice: Unknown: Can not authenticate to IMAP server: Login failed. 
(errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0<

when IMAP command fails, the follow errors are returned and can not be 
suppressed, by changing log status or by using @ infront of the lines

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$mailbox = 'INBOX';
$username = 'emaildoesntexist@example.org';
$password = 'orpasswordnotcorrect';

imap_open ($mailbox, $username, $password);

// regardless of log settings, assuming the imap account is invalid,
// errors are returned to the client 

?>

Expected result:
----------------
should be able to stop errors from being returned to client
should listed to logging levels

Actual result:
--------------
errors are returned to webuser
changing log levels does not affect it

Still an issue.

This is related to other kinds of issues with imap_open() or even all imap_*() functions

Trying to connect to an imap-server with /secure, which doesn't support it


----
PHP Notice:  Unknown: Can't do secure authentication with this server (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0

I just found this

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/b402da28a1d89692f555ce5ef1e191fdd3a943b9/ext/imap/php_imap.c#L1076

On shutdown the imap extension just prints out every remaining error. Thats annoying

- You cannot intercept it
- At that point I'm probably not interested in this issue anymore
- imap_last_error() does _not_ remove errors from the error buffer



As a workaround simply call imap_errors() to clear the error cache. That should be at least documented somewhere.
