This is (essentially) a duplicate of Ticket 6312.  And at this point - at least with FW_3, it doesn't make much sense to make dimp or mimp options as the default e-mail client because the UI interface for interacting with other horde applications is limited at best (i.e. it makes no sense to login to the standard horde portal and then have dimp as your e-mail client).

Additionally, changing the label is easily accomplished via gettext strings.  No reason to have that configurable.

There is already a cookie set that saves the last selection. Anything else proposed in the request is too much bloat IMO.

Seems like we should have a preference for this. I could have sworn we'd talked about it already, but I can't find a ticket.

Passing authentication to IMP when you have dimp also installed gives a "Mode" dropdown menu.

Feature Request: An option in the config to select the default mode.  And maybe to change how the modes are labeled.  I've changed the default by editing imp's login.php, but it would be nice to have this in config somewhere.  The line I changed:

$view_cookie = isset($_COOKIE['default_imp_view'])
        ? $_COOKIE['default_imp_view']
        : 'dimp';
