First, if it might be useful to other people, please keep it on list.

Okay... IMP's variables (user, etc.) are not anywhere in the webservers's 
environment. One thing you might look at is Atif Ghaffar's perl libraries that 
read Horde sessions; also, how are you "calling" your perl script from 
prefs.php3? You could just pass the username along (depending on how you're 
calling things), if that's all you need.

> ps - if I swap $imp->user for $imp['user'] that returns nothing as well.

Well, what version of IMP are you using? I told you what syntax to use for 
which version...
