Nevermind.  I was confused - turns out that using IFRAMES are not the default.

However this part you are not going to like - the Portal doesn't work  
correctly with iframes on.  And I'm not sure we can realistically make  
it work either without adding a bunch of hackish code.  The problem is  
that any link within the iframe that eventually opens up IMP again  
(e.g. the newmail folder summary) will cause IMP to be fully reloaded  
within the IFRAME.  So you end up with 2 sidebars.

Which begs the question - why don't we just get rid of iframe  
entirely?  It doesn't work properly, and won't ever work properly,  
unless the proper framework is implemented in Horde (*NOT* IMP).   
Until that happens, it is going to be prohibitively difficult to try  
to support.
