Like others, I'd heard of the installation difficulties you made 
reference to. I'm at something of a crossroads moment right now as it 
relates to webmail, so this thread is well timed. I *was* gonna simply 
install Squirrelmail since I know it and use it elsewhere. Now perhaps 
is the time to look at an alternative. I'd welcome your IMP installation 
notes!

I *gather* (not in front of a FreeBSD box at this moment) that IMP is 
*not* in ports, otherwise (surely) installation wouldn't be *that* 
complex? Configging maybe, but install-wise ports 'apps just; "slide 
right in there" - usually :-)

/me is keenly anticipating install notes!! Thanks for that Ted!

Regards,
-Colin
