Ummm... If I were Jan or Michael, I would be completely tempted to rip
into you for the above.

Let me give it to you simply enough so you might possibly understand...
You have the full source code. If there's something that doesn't work
how you want, you can change it yourself. That is the entire point of
open source software.

If you can do a decent job of it, offer the patch back to Horde/IMP.

Discussion about what you pay for, elitism, etc. suggests to me that
here were 2 people discussing things that they completely don't
understand or could possibly appreciate.
