[horde] Help for a novice?

[Valiante]

I don't seem to be able to find a servers.php file under any of the top-level 
folders, and IMP doesn't exist because I have only installed Horde 3.12 with no 
IMP components.

If I go to the main page (http://webmail.valiante.co.uk) I'm authenticated as 
Administrator and am able to go through the various Setup tabs, however I still 
can't find any entry for my IMAP & SMTP server settings.

What I would like to be presented with is a login screen similar to the version 
I'm used to at http://email.ixwebhosting.com/ which then takes me to the 
relevant mailbox based on the credentials entered.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Valiante

 Hi John,
 
 My host (IXWebhosting) use Horde as their default webmail interface, but I
 don't believe it's the latest version.  As I have the ability to add
 subdomains on my account and install any interface I want, I thought I'd
 give it a go and as I'm already familiar with using Horde that seemed like a
 good place to start.
 
 I originally tried Squirrelmail but as this requires running a perl script
 to configure it, I was unable to complete the installation.
 
 I guess the main reason for doing this at all is because I want to learn -
 and I figure the best way to learn is to just try it and see if I can get it
 to work.  But after looking through the install instructions, it all began
 to feel like learning Chinese - but then if I can get a few translations
 thrown in by those who already speak the language, hopefully I'll be able to
 get going!
 
 Anyway, I appreciate your response - I'll certainly have a go at amending
 the servers.php file as you suggest, but the only thing that still concerns
 me is the amount of errors I get on the test.php page and also the fact that
 I'm being automatically authenticated as Administrator when I go to the main
 interface (http://webmail.valiante.co.uk).
 
 Regards,
 
 Valiante
