Dear All,
After long time of googlin I have found the solution. Just follow these steps:

1. open php.ini file and change

;extension=php_imap.dll
to
extension=php_imap.dll ( ; remove semicolon )

2.goto php install folder and copy php_imap.dll file and paste it in your c:\windows\system32
c:\windows\system
folders.

3. Stop and restart Apache server.

If you are using easy php like me you will find many PHP.INI files .......you should edit file located in easyphp\conf files

in ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install php5-imap
and restart apache

Thank you... was beginning to think everyone here ran winblows web servers. Hackers of the world rejoice.

Anyway... thank you for the Linux solution.
