That is in the CVS HEAD (Developer version) but not in the release version.

See horde/imp/redirect.php and modify it for your use.  Basically create
a php script that parses the http auth info out and passes it to the horde/imp
login via redirect.php.

That doesn't make any sense, as they all have the same password, unless you
mean it also does ip based checking.  If so, just use the ip checking without
authentication.

See above.

Yes, redirect.php, or CVS HEAD version.
