[dev] Opening E-Mails via IMP

Fri Sep 20 06:32:22 UTC 2019

Thanks Michael, that was pretty much what I was searching for.

I am a little disappointed that I will probably have to re-implement a lot
of what imp already does but there seems no easier way about it. My idea
was to mesh up my own application with the Horde email system on a
per-message basis. Imagine you have a dossier and it is linked to the email
messages related to it. I figured the biggest problem would be to create
the links but it appears this is not half the story.
