I'm sure you're right (distro issue). I'm going to send the
information to the maintainers of the Ubuntu docs so that they might
consider adding this important step.
By the way, Horde's Administration control panel is really packed with
configuration. I'm surprised that configuration option isn't included
there.
I'm curious as to what is "set properly". I wouldn't expect for imp
to be enabled before imp is installed. Are you saying that something
automatically enables it and disables it based on your imp install?
Also, I decided to install a new module yesterday. It went very
smoothly. I just added the turba address book, and knew to go to the
registry.php file to enable it and it was working in seconds.
Is this done in some type of "set properly" fashion if I were working
outside my distro's modular tools? What would have enabled "turba" in
the registry.php? I'm sure I'll create a test environment to install
horde and work with it directly from Horde's packages. I had already
planned to do that for my Horde4 upgrade (Horde3 comes with Ubuntu's
repository).
I'm sure the instructions are there somewhere in the documentation
install steps. Hopefully someone would show me where they are. Then
I'd only have myself to blame for being so dumbfounded for so many
months.

I'm sure you're right (distro issue). I'm going to send the information
to the maintainers of the Ubuntu docs so that they might consider adding
this important step.
By the way, Horde's Administration control panel is really packed with
configuration. I'm surprised that configuration option isn't included

I'm curious as to what is "set properly". I wouldn't expect for imp to

Also, I decided to install a new module yesterday. It went very

Is this done in some type of "set properly" fashion if I were working
