I've got IMP working. The install process wasn't that bad. I'm thinking 
of going through it one more time just to make sure I understand how to 
do it. Next time I'll document everything I do.

NOTES:
There were a few things I did differently form the Debian how-to.

   1. I installed and configured horde3
   2. I configured the Administrator account
         1. I need to test it
   3. I didn't change the permissions for the config files
   4. Installed IMP
   5. Went back to the horde admin page to set authentication etc...
   6. Configured IMP on the web interface
   7. Installed Auth_SASL
   8. ran test.php in Firefox
   9. Tested IMP
         1. Copied the correct server settings for servers.php
  10. Configured email settings in /etc/horde/imp4/servers.php

It works!

Next time I'll install all the extras.
