Another little tidbit of information I found out for others.  When 
logging in with the "Basic Authentication" selected, I was receiving a

"User is not authorized for imp"

error message on the main page.  If you click on Mail, it will prompt 
you for credentials and then log you into mail.  To fix this, you have 
to edit...

./imp/config/backends.php

and change...

     'hordeauth' => true,

on line 302 (or in your imap configuration).  Hopefully this will help 
others out...
