Hello,

sorry for having read, and answered, your question only partially,
in the first place.

WRT the "other files",
<http://www.horde.org/imp/docs/?f=INSTALL.html#configuring-imp> says:
   To configure IMP, change to the imp/config/ directory of the
   installed distribution, and make copies of all of the configuration
   dist files without the dist suffix

Apache needs rwx right on the directory imp/config/,
as well as rw rights on the imp/config/conf.php,
and imp/config/conf.php.bak, files. Likewise for
the other modules. The following rights work for me:
   rights      usr   grp  file
   -------------------------------------
   drwxr-xr-x  stolz rz   ./
   -rw-rw-r--  stolz www  conf.php
   -rw-rw-r--  stolz www  conf.php.bak
where «.» is imp/config/, and «www» is Apache's group id.

Good luck,
