IMP requires a working Horde installation, at least one POP3 or IMAP server, an SMTP or Sendmail server, as well as a PHP installation with support for File Upload and OpenSSL. You should install the PEAR installer, which will be used for installing IMP.

Simply run the ‘pear install -a -B horde/imp’ command to install IMP with all optional dependencies, or run the ‘pear install horde/imp’ command to install IMP only with the required dependencies, or run the ‘pear install -a horde/imp’ command to install IMP with all binary dependencies. Then, proceed to the initial configuration at http://www.horde.org/apps/imp/docs/INSTALL#configuring-imp.
