I have read the documentation, which is always a first choice.  I have not
looked through the mailing list archives as of yet, and is my next stop.
What I asked was a general question, but since it appears necessary to
flesh-out the original statemnt, I'll post it to the Turba list directly.

Secondly, I'd like to say that I did not and was not implying or stating
that this was "garbage".  If I think it is such trash, I wouldn't have
joined the lists or asked any questions because I sure as heck wouldn't be
placing this into a production system.  I'd go with squirrelmail and leave
it with that.  I happen to like the new look of Imp and might contribute
some fixes/additions in the future.

Open source projects thrive off of their mailing lists, as this is where
many people will come to ask questions that they haven't been able to get an
answer to in an FAQ or the like.  To greet people in the way that I've been
on my initial posts (vague as they may have seemed), does not bode well for
the future acceptance of this project.  If others are treated in the same
manner, they may also find other projects to use in place of Horde and I'd
hate to see this much work go down the tubes.  So far, it's a very unique
product and I'm liking the direction that it is going.  Please, just be a
little more patient with others in the future.
