[imp] problems configuring with imp6.0.4 on horde5.0.4

[peter lawrie]

Hi
Thanks Mauricio
OK, I have a postfix/dovecot that will send mail, using a sql db 'mail' and
the test.php works for IMP
I also have a horde db with a table horde_users
However, I am struggling to understand how to link a real linux user able
to send mail with the virtual users within horde
Regards
Peter Lawrie
