Thanks!

I found the code for the portal in horde/services/portal/index.php

$injector->getInstance('Horde_View_Topbar')->subinfo =
htmlspecialchars($injector->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Identity')->create()->getDefaultFromAddress(true));

I was able to add similar code to imp and kronolith:

imp/mailbox.php (basic view)

$injector->getInstance('Horde_View_Topbar')->subinfo =
htmlspecialchars($injector->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Identity')->create()->getDefaultFromAddress(true))
    . $subinfo->render();

imp/lib/Dynamic/Mailbox.php (dynamic view)

$topbar->subinfo =
htmlspecialchars($injector->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Identity')->create()->getDefaultFromAddress(true)) 

                 . $impSubinfo->render('mailbox_subinfo');


kronolith/index.php (seems to affect only dynamic view?)

$topbar->subinfo =
htmlspecialchars($injector->getInstance('Horde_Core_Factory_Identity')->create()->getDefaultFromAddress(true));


Would this be worth adding to the distribution?
Maybe a cleaner/nicer design would to have the Horde_View_Topbar library 
add this info regardless of application?
Perhaps in a separate, centered div?  Currently the Topbar seems mostly 
underutilized (just the date in most apps).

<div id="horde-sub">
   <div id="horde-date">02/06/13</div>
   <div id="horde-center">User Name and Email</div>
   <div id="horde-info">(application subinfo)></div>
</div>
