>> The Horde Application Framework is a flexible, modular, general-purpose web
>> application framework written in PHP. It provides an extensive array of
>> components that are targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in
>> developing modern web applications. It is the basis for a large number of
>> production-level web applications, notably the Horde Groupware  
>> suites. For more
>> information on Horde or the Horde Groupware suites, visit  
>> http://www.horde.org.
>>
>> IMPORTANT! This is a preview version that should not be used on production
>> systems. This version is considered feature complete but there are  
>> likely to be
>> bugs. You should not use this preview version with existing production
>> data. Migration of data from earlier versions has not been fully  
>> tested yet and
>> is not supported.
>>
>> We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists  
>> or our bug
>> tracking system. Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
>> might still change before the release candidates are prepared.
>>
>> The installation method for Horde 4 has been changed to use the PEAR
>> installer. To prepare your local PEAR installation to install software from
>> Horde's PEAR server, run the following commands from the command line:
>>
>>  pear channel-discover pear.horde.org
>>  pear install horde/horde_role-alpha
>>  pear run-scripts horde/horde_role
>>
>> The last command will ask you for the filessystem location for your Horde
>> installation. This should be some path in your web server's document root,
>> e.g. /var/www/horde. These commands only need to be run once. You are now
>> prepared to install, upgrade and uninstall Horde packages. To  
>> install the alpha
>> release of Horde, run the following commands:
>>
>>  pear install horde/horde-alpha
>>
>> Just go to the config/ directory of your Horde installation and copy
>> conf.php.dist to conf.php:
>>
>>  cd /var/www/horde/config/
>>  cp conf.php.dist conf.php
>>
>> Then point your browser to the installation location, go to the

>>
>> 1. Configure a real authentication backend!
>> 2. Configure a database backend (Horde configuration, Database tab)
>> 3. Install the database tables ("Update all DB schemas" button)

You probably did not install the required dependencies for these  
configuration settings. We still need to ponder on how to deal with  
such type of issues on our side. If you installed just the "horde"  
package without optional dependencies than the "Horde_Imap_Client"  
package will not have been pulled. You can either install "horde" with  
all dependencies ("-a", see INSTALL) or separately install the  
"Horde_Imap_Client" package via "pear install  
horde/Horde_Imap_Client". Or "Horde_Ldap" if you need LDAP.

Still we need some kind of scheme to inform the user of the problem in  
the frontend but that is not in place yet. Well, alpha ;)

Cheers,

Gunnar
