The Horde Team is excited to announce the first beta release of the IMP
Webmail Client version 4.0.

IMP, the Internet Messaging Program, is one of the most popular webmail
applications available.  It allows universal, web-based access to IMAP and
POP3 mail servers and provides a full range of features normally found only in
desktop email clients.

This is a preview version that should not be used on production
systems.  This version is considered feature complete but there are still a
few bugs, some of which are listed below.  You should not use this preview
version over existing production data.

We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our bug
tracking system.  Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
will still change before the final release.

The major changes compared to the IMP 4.0-ALPHA version are:
    * Mail folders in the left menu.
    * Experimental support for virtual folders.
    * Preview of attachments in compose view.
    * Send attachments as links.
    * Option to not save attachments with sent mail.
    * Dynamically extending attachment upload fields.
    * Allow to add attachments from a VFS.
    * Navigation through message and mailbox views with arrow keys.
    * View all messages of a thread.
    * Improved sorting by thread.
    * Black on white print view.
    * Option to automatically spell check messages before sending.
    * Optional hiding of quoted message parts.
    * Warning if popup blocker is active.
    * Option to report messages as ham.
    * Option to select message headers to be shown by default.
    * Support for message disposition notifications (RFC 2298).
    * Localized INBOX name.
    * User management for supported IMAP servers.
    * Quota driver for Mercury/32 servers.
    * Persian translation.

Known issues:
    * Upgrade instructions and scripts have not been written yet.
    * Folder tree in the left menu shows only folders expanded in the main
      folder view.
    * Virtual folders have not been tested thoroughly yet.
