PHP-IMAP is a wrapper for common IMAP communication without the need to have the php-imap module installed / enabled. The protocol is completely integrated and therefore supports IMAP IDLE operation and the "new" oAuth authentication process as well.

Better typing for return values to allow for more successful prompts when function chaining.
Describe the solution you'd like
For each function that returns $this to be typed to return static instead of self, and also for the docblock to be @return $this where sometimes it exists @return ClassName
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are two possibilities;
Fix only in docblocks. This has absolutely no impact to the implementation.
Fix both the return type hints and docblocks - this has a functional difference, but shouldn't impact anything.
Additional context
I have created #470 already, but thought I'd create an issue so it can be tracked more easily :)
