Hello Christian,

hmmmm... Okay sorry I just found out that the "Mailer" section of Horde's
config was not filled out.  I entered the proper parameters and its working
fine now.  I wonder, out of curiosity, why I need to do that to be able to
send emails?

Wouldn't filling out the proper parameters in IMP's config be sufficient??

Okay now *I think* everything is working fine!

Thanks guys again
