Find a nice quiet directory (replace /usr/local/src or your favorite source tree location:): mkdir /usr/local/src cd /usr/local/src Get the source to the PHP IMAP package (you must have deb-src: lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list for this to work) apt-get source php4-imap This will download and unpack the source to the php4 package.
