There isn't any easy way to determine the version from the php served
up to the user. This makes error reporting for a typical user harder.
Help -> About
The error reporting system at www.horde.org is aimed at programmers,
the majority of users are going to be like Me a person who is forced
to use it because My ISP uses it. All the crap here will confuse
ordinary users  and they just won't bother reporting any problems.
Of course the bug reporting system is aimed at "programmers" - really 
at system admins and/or developers. Ordinary users, such as yourself, 
should report problems to your ISP. Your ISP has the technical 
information necessary to report, debug, and fix problems.



You may not be aware that we are not paid by your ISP. Horde is free, 
open source software. You are most welcome to help us improve our 
website. Saying, however, that it contains "crap" is not productive 
for anyone.



Presumeably, btw, you _do_ pay your ISP. They should support you. We 
can work with them if there really were any legitimate problems with 
the codebase.
Having to go through some many steps to get rid of SPAM is annoying.
Blacklist - Delete - Purge Deleted :-( There should be a "mark
address as spam and delete from list" option which does all of the
above in one step (with an " Blacklist and Delete ? are You sure?? "
type message.
There is. See your ISP again.
I work in a goverment agency that uses dynamic IP allocation. The
allocated IP changes too fast for Horde and it will not let Me log
in. It comes up with a message box asking for My password again
everytime I attempt any action and goes around in circles.  I am
unable to use it at work :-(  (Yahoo email works fine at work)
Yet another thing that can be configured by any vaguely competent 
administrator. Talk to your ISP.

I have encountered a number of issues while using horde webmail.

About 90% of the time the javascript buttons don't work, clicking them 
does nothing at all.

I have a small bench with My keyboard on it. I have spent nearly an 
hour typing eloborate answers to emails on several occasions and then 
accidently clipped the ESC key with the edge of My hand - BYE BYE 
MESSAGE - NO ESC key trapping, no "are You sure You wan't to delete 
your work so far" message, no way to get the text back :-(( . This 
doesn't usually happen with email client software and if it does there 
is usually a like "warn user before delete" type option which can be 
selected.
