[imp] Multiple email accounts?

Not sure what you are asking.  If you are asking if there can be one 
login for both Horde and IMP then you simply need to make sure the 
password for Horde and IMP is the same (i.e. use imp authentication for 
Horde; make sure Horde/IMP are authenticating to the same 
authentication backend; etc.).  See also the 'hordeauth' parameter in 
imp/config/backends.php.

If you are asking if an IMAP/POP password (used to log in to the IMP 
backend) could somehow be stored in the preference backend so it could 
be recalled when logging into Horde, then the answer is most certainly 
*NO*.  The last thing anyone needs to be doing is storing unencrypted 
critical passwords in the preferences backend.
