[imp] directly to inbox after logging in

[Sheeri Kritzer]

I believe if you set your default path to <whatever>/horde/imp instead of <whatever>/horde, in the horde and imp config files, this problem will clear up.  We had the same issue.  (you may need to set it as the DocumentRoot in apache, too.)
