I've tweaked the code a little, sorted apps alphabetically, and 
committed it. Thanks! This will be in Horde 3.1.

Nice idea.

The UI for changing the options for (for example) IMP when installed 
in Horde is quite difficult to find. One either has to click on the 
Mail on the left sidebar and then Options on the top menu, or on the 
Options on the left sidebar and then select the appropriate 
application in a combo box.



Took me 2 hours to find! :-)



This little patch simply puts those applications configurable through 
horde as children element of the "Options" menu in the left sidebar, 
and making them easier to find for unexperienced users.
