Horde/imp, uses php - you, or the webserver admin needs to increase the
memory limit assigned to php.  Google for this

Sounds related to the above issue..

the small box next to the message I want to open and then clicking on "view
messages". However this method allows you to see an read the message but
does not allow you to reply to it.

Session cookies.  If you have access to the Horde administration console,
it's in there - but it's a security feature.  I highly recommend leaving it
as it is.

> 4. I delete spam and unwanted emails on my desktop computer, which are
then trashed permanently, not put in a trash file. However, later when I
view my emails on my iPhone, all the trashed emails are still there. Why is
that?

IMAP does not "delete" emails.  It marks then for deletion until you purge
then later.  Most clients have a setting to hide emails marked for
deletion.  I don't have an iPhone so I can't tell you where this is.

> 5. I have an extensive blacklist, but it doesn't seem to work very well.
Maybe I am entering it wrong. For example, if I want to block 100% of
messages from a website, I have been entering "@advertize-biz.cn" or "@
jbklz.com" as examples. Is this correct? Or should I leave the @ sign out?
or should it be "*@advertize-biz.cn", I haven't been able to find anything
about this online.

I hope someone can help you with this.  But email from addresses are easily
spoofed, and black-listing by email address is almost worthless as a tactic.
