Yes, that is valid, but it will have the effect of making all of
those preferences global to all applications.

You are aware that IMP doesn't have to be running on the same box as the IMAP 
server, right?

I know Apache can be finicky about quotes and paths (c:\ prefixing things, 
etc.), but other than those general hints, you should be looking for help from 
an Apache resource here...

The path_to_sendmail parameter is in imp/config/defaults.php3. I take it from 
that that you're planning on using IMP 2.2/Horde 1.2. In that case you can set 
the path_to_sendmail to false, in which case IMP will fall back on php's mail() 
function. This has a few drawbacks (not setting the envelope from address 
correctly, which can cause problems with mailing lists), but works. Or, you can 
hack mailfrom() (in horde/lib/horde.lib) to do something different, or you can 
find a command-line utility that acts like sendmail and accepts the right 
arguments (there _is_ sendmail for win32, but I'm not familiar with it).

If you decide to go with Horde 1.3/IMP 2.3 (which, although it is still a bit 
of a moving target and in development, it has had a bit more use by developers 
on win32), there is an option to use SMTP to send mail, which should make 
things easy.

You will receive an urgent transmission from the Martian government informing 
you that Mars does not, in fact, need women, so please stop sending them.
