Subject: [imp] IMP 4.0-ALPHA


> After more than two years of work, the Horde Team is very excited to
> announce the first alpha release of the IMP Webmail Client version 4.0.
>
> IMP, the Internet Messaging Program, is one of the most popular webmail
> applications available.  It allows universal, web-based access to IMAP and
> POP3 mail servers and provides a full range of features normally found
only in
> desktop email clients.
>
> This is a preview version that should not be used on production
> systems.  Some small parts are missing and there are still a few bugs,
> some of which are listed below.  You should not use this preview
> version over existing production data.
>
> The API, configuration items, or features may change before the final
> release, but we encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing
> lists or our bug tracking system. Translations are not ready to be updated
> yet, since some strings will change before the final release.
>
> The major changes compared to the IMP 3.x versions are:
>     * Much improved message format support through Horde's rewritten MIME
>       system.
>     * Many, many additional and improved mime viewers for attachments.
>     * Encrypting, signing, decrypting and verifying of signed and
encrypted
>       messages (PGP/GPG and S/MIME).
>     * Message filters moved to a separate application (Ingo) to support
more
>       filter backends and a more robust/comprehensive/easy-to-use UI.
>     * Full charset support in folders, mailbox, message and compose views.
>     * HTML message composition with a cross-browser WYSIWIG editor.
>     * Fetching mails from other email accounts to view with IMP.
>     * Message previews in mailbox view.
>     * Prevent message loss during compositon due to session timeouts.
>     * Management of shared IMAP folders.
>     * Priority settings for composed messages.
>     * Integrated quota support.
>     * Support for mailing list headers.
>     * Ability to forward multiple messages at once.
>     * Downloading of all attachments from a message as a single ZIP file.
>     * Stripping individual attachments from messages.
>     * Alias and "tied to" addresses in user identities.
>     * Authentication with Horde credentials.
>     * Graphical emoticons and country flags in message view.
>     * Various caching improvements to drastically minimize duplicate IMAP
>       server->web server traffic.
>
> Known issues:
>     * Documentation is not completely updated yet.
>     * Downloaded text attachments get the charset of the user interface.
