After I few tests it seems the old ".horde/imp/compose" VFS entries are
from IMP sessions that have been terminated without sending an email,
as they are cleaned up when the email is sent. So I have backed up the
table and run the following to tidy it up....

delete from horde_vfs where vfs_modified <
unix_timestamp(date_sub(now(), interval 180 day)) and vfs_path =
".horde/imp/compose";
