Being a SW developer myself I find this definition of compatibility "strange"
At least the test.php script could put a warning in such cases,
Otherwise such a script is not very usefull
 
So what is the minimal php version where I can expect the current
Horde/imp combination to perform as intended?

Ok, so I know what to do next...

Thanks for your good work on the horde project,
It's quite impressive how features have evolved over the last years.
