The imp INSTALL doc mentions nothing about simply extracting the 
archive, and configuring php to compile against it, without having to 
compile or install c-client in the traditional sense. I finally found 
this solution yesterday at groups.google.com which had an archived 
post to mailing.www.horde-imp dated back to June of this year. Having 
this explained simply and concisely with an example of the ./config 
statement in the INSTALL doc would have been very helpful avoiding me 
wasting a day and in search engine hell, but I finally got it to work 
with the following article.

I wasn't looking for support, I was looking for instructions for how 
to install imp.

This is a bug tracker, not a support system. Ask on the mailing lists.

At the risk of sounding dumb .... I'm a bit confused.  I downloaded. 
With the full realization that imp 3.x is a different beast then 4. 
Version 3 works fine on my system. That being said, I downloaded and 
successfully compiled c-client. The documentation tells me that I need 
to install and run imapd pop2d pop3d daemons. However, I have the same 
services running from cyrus imap. Do I have to invoke them together? 
How do I that and not run into a conflict? Or is my thinking 
incorrect? What exactly do I need to install and how?



I hope that you can help.

You have a badly matched combination of PHP and c-client. 
Recompile/upgrade one or both.

I have just performed a clean installation of IMP 4 RC2 on Horde 3 RC2 
on Fedora Core 2 with Cyrus IMAP and mysql 4.1.7. The installation 
seems to have gone fine, however, IMP only seems to display header 
information when I try to view an email. Both html and plain are 
configured to be viewed inline in mime_drivers.php.
