Introduction
Email is used to send and receive electronic messages to and from
people all over the world. It is a fast and effective means
of communicating in the written form. Email is convenient as the
sender and recipient(s) need not be using their computers at the same
time -- recipients may choose top access the messages at any
time which is convenient to them.
IMP is the Horde email application. It provides a full-featured, robust
email system which can be accessed from almost anywhere you have access
to the web. It supports most standard
email client operations such as multiple accounts, multiple folders,
attachments, spell checking, and address book support.
Due to the size and complexity of the IMP email application, we've broken
the material up into three separate chapters.
