The IMP webmail module for horde allows one to select which server one
wants to access for e-mail.  Actually, the server configuration includes
the domain name associated with outgoing mail as well as the IMAP server
and protocol for accessing that IMAP server (e.g. straight IMAP, IMAP with
tls, IMAP with tls and self-signed certificates, ...).  This provides a
fairly easy way to support e-mail from virtual domains so that the
recipient sees it as coming from that virtual domain, not necessarily the
primary domain of the webmail server.

In addition, horde may be configured to use the IMP authentication for
horde and all its modules, providing a single sign on for e-mail,
calendars, etc.

IMP has some nice features such as virtual folders, which are basically
stored selection sets (e.g. one can create virtual folders that display
only unread messages in one or more regular IMAP folders.  Functionally the
IMP virtual folders are similar to the Apple Mail.app smart folders.
