[horde] Initial setup of horde

IMAP, or IMP?  Both will work.

For IMAP, configure it in horde/config/conf.php (or horde/config/horde.php,
which ever you have).  Something like:

$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'imap';
$conf['auth']['params'] = array();

// For IMAP, this is the server name, port, protocol, etc.
$conf['auth']['params']['dsn'] = '{imap.example.com:143/imap}INBOX';

where you would replace "imap.example.com" with your imap server (and
maybe have to fix the port, etc. also...)

For IMP, something like:
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'application';
$conf['auth']['params'] = array();
$conf['auth']['params']['app'] = 'imp';

But, there is a catch-22 here, in that you can't configure IMP from Horde
if Horde uses IMP authentication. :)

Yes.  You won't be able to manipulate IMAP users from there, but everything
else will work.

That is the above 'catch-22' I mentioned.

You will need to use IMAP instead of IMP to configure IMP, then switch to
IMP again to do anything else.

Yes and no.  But basically see above.

Also, Chuck has a new, not-too-well-tested command line setup util now,
which you can try if you are brave.  Update to current CVS, and it is
in (I think) horde/scripts/setup.php.
