About IMP

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 use an installation of IMP to check your mail from anywhere that you have web access.

What does it require (IMP 4.x)?

Absolute requirements: A web server running PHP with IMAP support (PHP 4.3.0 or later), a browser that supports cookies, and an IMAP account.

More or less absolute (ie, you'd have to do serious code revision to get by without): A browser capable of a reasonable level of Javascript and tables.

Highly Recommended: An SSL web server and a browser capable of the same (this would only require minor code modification to get by without, but still...), and PHP compiled into the server as a module.

For a complete list of install requirements, you should view the INSTALL document that is part of the distribution.

What about distribution? What sort of license does it have?
