[imp] Several problems with Horde+IMP

[Yves Goergen]

Hi all,

I'm using the previous horde version and IMP for some time now, and I'm
still wondering why it actually works. But it seems it does quite well.

Now I wanted to upgrade to the current version. And I ran into multiple
problems:

* Renaming a user leads to have me locked out. I renamed "Administrator"
to "yves" and had to correct things by hand in the database because I
could not log in anymore. Then I had to manually correct the config file
that I was Admin again.

* I'm using Firefox 1.0 and the web interface makes a highly unstable
impression to me. Sometimes, I get the left menu, sometimes not.
Sometimes it can save settings, seldom not.

* I cannot update my default identity. I could with the old horde, but
now it won't remember any changes. After storing them, I get a success
message, but in that moment, they're lost again. Alzheimer? As far as I
can tell, the database account is set up correctly. Before it wasn't and
it didn't even give me a warning about that. Please make horde tell the
user, if there should be a problem!

* I must log in to horde with my IMAP account data. That works fine, but
why cannot it store this information for me and give me access when I
have logged into horde? When I click on "Accounts", I get no checkbox,
but I can perform some operations on them. Great.

* What is that "Layout" button supposed to do? It looks like I could
manage some boxes on an overview page, but it again cannot remember
anything. And as soon as I click on one of those arrows, I get some
mysterious error message about something could not be found or so.

Is there someone who can help me with these problems? I would really
like to use hordeand the IMP application, as it would save me a *lot* of
work to do it myself, but if I can't get it working, I'll end up doing
it myself. And my solution will definitely have an install script that
runs automatically (as about any application today has - except horde)
and won't require the user to read hundreds of conditional lines of
commands.

There's a long way to go for usability yet... But let's first get it
functional at all.
