Your local mysql client can execute the .sql scripts against the remote
server.  Imp/Horde can be configured to access the remote MySQL server with
the proper database and username/password information.  So, that's solved.

Horde is the baseline framework on which you'll run IMP.

My only suggestion now is to read the documentation.  It took me a good
while to get my Horde system running, primarily because I somehow kept
missing a couple of vital pieces of configuration information.  Now I have
installed it on numerous machines in a variety of configurations, and I'm
quite pleased with it.

I think you will be, too.  One thing I would recommened, however, is that
you use an IMAP server instead of POP, as IMAP offers a wider variety of
features and better performance, depending upon the POP3 daemon used...
YMMV.

Depending upon the performance of your Windows XP machine, you might do well
to install MySQL locally and run it all on one box... at least initially.
Again, YMMV.
