There also is an AJAX interface for IMP 4, it's called DIMP and is  
currently available on the stable, Horde 3 line.

Currently, you can get a copy by checking out the horde git repository  
and following the directions you already found on the website. The  
repository contains all the code for Horde 4 and all applications. If  
you are feeling adventurous, you could instead download the most  
recent development snapshots of horde, framework, imp, and any other  
apps you want from the ftp server. Note that Horde 4 is still under  
heavy development and is not suitable for production use at this time.

You would need to use the Horde 4 compatible versions of those  
applications, and run any upgrade scripts to update your database.  
Also note that not all applications are yet working fully under Horde 4.
