[imp] Imp 2.2.7 login

[Joe Hamelin]

The passwords come from the mail server (POP or IMAP) that you are
trying to get mail from.  Unless you are on Matthew Seidl's
localhost.com box (mail.localhost.com doesn't resolve anyway) you
won't get anywhere.  Try just using http://localhost/horde/mail if
you're trying to use your local server.. and make sure that IMAP is
answering on port 143 (a quick 'telnet 127.0.0.1 143' will check it).

:So what I would like help understanding is...
:Where do the usernames and passwords reside?  Apache runs as user
:nobody, postgres as pgsql and neither have permission to read
:/etc/password.  So how do I pass valid users/passwords to imp?
:I appreciate the pointer.
