IMP
Version 3.2.3

What is IMP?
------------

IMP is the Internet Messaging Program (formerly, among other things,
the IMAP webMail Program), a PHP-based webmail system and a component
of the Horde project. IMP is the most mature of the Horde components,
and is the most widely deployed (thus far!). IMP, once installed,
accesses mail over IMAP, thus requiring little to no special
preparations on the server on which mail is stored.

IMP offers most of the features users have come to expect from their
conventional mail programs, including attachments, spell-check,
address books, multiple folders, and multiple-language support.

This software is OSI Certified Open Source Software.
OSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.
