Brent,

I agree with you completely.  I'm certainly going to be doing the same for
preferences, contacts in turba and hopefully for all authentication, horde,
imap, etc.  I need all the help I can get:-)  Substituting LDAP for multiple
files/db's seems to be a general and very logical trend, but I haven't found
many projects that facilitate its use where on the other hand, mysql is cut,
dried and packaged with a pretty blue ribbon for the uninitiated user
everywhere.  It looks like a competitive advantage for the Horde project.  In
fact, the "Scalable Webmail HOWTO" is what caused my initial interest in IMP.
