I assume it really says it isn't recent enough???

I think this bug was fixed in cvs, and should be fixed in the next release
but I'm not 100% sure about that.  But that does you little good I know...

> Since the php_horde rpm installs the broken pear you need to move that

I *think* it is really Horde that is broken, not PEAR...  (It just so
happens the broken Horde works with older PEAR versions, I think).

Never saw that.  I've always had the mail link on the Summary Page.
What url are you using, and does that point at IMP or Horde?

Confusing for me to.  Not sure how you could go from the initial page back
to anything but the login page...

> The fix is to set 'initial_page' => 'imp/' in horde/config/registry.php

Where in registry.php?  And why not set the initial_application preference
instead?  And I don't know why/how this would be needed anyway.

Please let us know what your document root is, what url you use, and if
it points at Horde or IMP...
