The Internet Messaging Program or IMP is an open source webmail client. It can be used to access e-mail stored on an IMAP server. IMP is written in PHP and a component of the Horde project.
It is included with cPanel and Plesk installations as a webmail client. It often integrates email, calendar, address book, notes, tasks, filters and a newsreader with cPanel.
History
Chuck Hagenbuch published a first version of IMP on Freshmeat in 1998.[2] A constant stream of feature requests not all fitting for a webmail application led to the development of a more generic web application backbone: the Horde framework. The release of IMP 3.0 and Horde 2.0 was the first one with two truly separate components.[3]
SAPO uses IMP[4] to provide several million users with a webmail platform.[5]
