That's what the mailing list is for! 8-)

You have

	folder : /home/usrname/mail/inbox/

set up.  Try changing it to '' (empty).  POP has no concept of folders.
It has a single mail folder, the "inbox".

Sorry to hear that.  IMAP is much more capable than POP, supports
folders, has improved authentication, uses less disk I/O so it runs
faster and doesn't flog the disks as bad, etc.  If you can, you should
look seriously into installing it.  Your users will thank you! 8-)

If sendmail is to send mail out over the internet (to other domains),
you must set up your DNS resolution (assuming some form of Unix, edit
/etc/resolv.conf appropriately).  You'll have to edit imp/defaults.php3
to set up sendmail appropriately.  For example:

	$default->path_to_sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

Change the path appropriately.  You'll find the actual command line
used to call sendmail in horde/lib/horde.lib, if you're interested.
By default, the line looks like:

	$mail = popen("$default->path_to_sendmail -i -f$from
		-- $recipients", 'w');

(I folded the line for readability--it's really one line).

The same port, 110 for POP, 143 for IMAP.

Yes, that's fine.  Many (maybe even most!) people run it like that.

Make sure you read the FAQs for Horde and IMP.  A number of gotchas
are described in there.
