In my case, the tweaking/customizing was mainly regarding the interface, 
with no interference with the 'core' of the installation. That's why I 
thought I should post my problem here.

I will certainly do that. Thank you.

This is clear, but of course I wouldn't expect the Horde team to fix a 
bug in a previous version. The purpose of my post was to find someone 
more experienced than me to give me some general guideline on where to 
'search' to be then able to fix this myself.

Here you can find me disagreeing with you at most. Maintaining such a 
large project for free has nothing to do with the project's support. 
It's like you saying that if I buy a large program and the guy who has 
been coming and supporting it does not get paid for four months, the 
next time he visits me he justs stares at me and does nothing. And as I 
have mentioned, I have received the same answer as in my initial post 
other times as well (hence the disappointment) (I could search and point 
you to the other posts if you like). I would expect at least some minor 
support for the previous versions, and not just a cold 'Please upgrade' 
answer. There are many people and/or large companies and institutions 
using this great project, and at some point they might need some help 
(even able to fix most of the problems themselves). And as you can 
realise it's whole concept makes it difficult to upgrade to each new 
version that becomes available (unless of course you want to preserve 
the dark blue color scheme and the 'Welcome to Horde' greeting).
In any case, thanks to all of you for your time, I will do some more 
searching and if I am able to fix this I will certainly post my findings.

Best regards,
Greg
