imp-2.0.11(webmail)

What is IMP?

IMP is a set of PHP scripts that implement an IMAP based webmail system. Assuming you have an account on a server that supports IMAP, you can theoretically use an installation of IMP to check your mail from anywhere that you have web access.

Configuration

Change into 'horde/imp/config' and make changes to the config files.
At this point I'd like to point out the use of a perl based script called impsetup.pl which is in 'horde/imp/config/scripts'. Since you are reading through the harder method of setting things up this script would make your life easier. Or you can continue on.
Within the 'imp/config' directory are several .php3 files as well as a couple .txt files. These files store your customizable configuration options. defaults.php3 is the one you need to make changes to before IMP will function properly. The others can be left alone to begin with.
'horde/imp/config/defaults.php3' contains a large number of defaults that you'll need to configure for your system, such as the default IMAP server, whether or not users can pick a different server, etc... The file is fairly well documented, so you should be able to pick out what you need to change fairly easily.
There are several example config files sitting in horde/imp/config/examples. There are 2 that are designed to be almost plug and play for postgres and mysql installs. The only thing you would have to change is the hostnames and any options you want to disable/enable. These default files are under the impression that you configured your database using one of the database setup scripts located in 'horde/imp/config/scripts'.
Please note that if you use this procedure, you need to chmod 000 horde/setup.php3 since you won't be using it - and IMP won't run for security reasons while it is readable.
menu.txt is a new file that will allow you to add links to the menu. For more information on this please take a look at the menu.txt file itself.
There is also a MOTD.html file in imp/config that will allow you to attach a message of the day to the bottom of the login screen.
Setup scripts
Enable setup script

cd /usr/local/src/horde-1.0.11
./install.sh
You should be able to point your browser to:

http://yourimpserver/yourhordehome/setup.php3
When you are done be sure to disable it again!

# ./secure.sh
Create IMP database

# su - postgres
$ cd horde/imp/config/scripts
$ psql template1 < pgsql_create.sql
