> IMP shouldn't be difficult to install

I know it's taken out of place, but according to my opinion IMP is such an
application that should require some experience and knowledge to setup. If
you haven't got the approriate knowledge, you shouldn't be hosting a
webmail.

Okay, IMP is not a mailserver; it's a client. However, most people trying to
set up IMP are at the same time trying to set up a mailserver, and a
httpserver. If you can't read the documentation, and know the basics about
clients and servers and configuration, you should probably not be running a
webmail.

Making a complicated application easy to setup is begging for trouble. Just
look at microsofts servers and their alike. I mean: opening up the entire
database just because you are to lazy to change the default root password
when you are setting it up.

The prerequisites should be: computer, internetconnection, brain, reading
skills. Not a hand to drag-n-drop the app with...
