As a result of your message, and at the request of one of my users who wanted
WWW access to his email account, I have installed IMP.  While it seems to work
okay for most application, it has problems with mailboxes that have large
numbers (somewhere between 500 and 700 messages) in them.  To be sure, those
problems seem to be with php3 rather than imp (I got segfaults on the Web server
process before reducing the size of my inbox) but that's something to be aware
of.

(BTW, I'm running it on a copy of Stronghold 2.4.1 that I patched so it could
use PHP-3.0.6.  The amazing part is that it all works.)
