Information About Horde

 

Horde is both a piece of software and a project. The Horde Project comprises a set of Web-based productivity, messaging, and project-management applications, each of which is described below. The Horde Framework is a common code-base used by Horde applications, including libraries and a common user interface.

 

The Horde Framework doesn't do anything on its own; as a user, you will always be interacting with a Horde-based application.

 

What is IMP?

IMP is the Internet Messaging Program (formerly, among other things, the IMAP webMail Program), a webmail system and a component of the Horde project. IMP is the most widely-deployed component of Horde.

 

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.
