Just to clear it up some more, Horde is a framework for some web based 
applications. IMP is the web based mail package it uses. It looks kinda 
hotmailish. Internally IMP uses PHP3/4 (later versions use PHP4 only) and 
the particularly IMAP functions to access local (usually) mailboxes. Since 
it's talking IMAP your choices are many for a decent IMAP server. The end 
user just uses their web browser. 

I read the initial post but can offer no suggestion for the original 
problem, except maybe try another IMAP client such as pine or mutt to see 
if it's an IMAP problem or an IMP problem.

Alternately, if all you're interested in is setting up a *small* number of 
users with web based mail with minimum fuss, try "neomail". It uses 
standard unix mailboxes but could potentially get bogged down with large 
mail spools & lots of concurrent users.
