The '''Internet Messaging Program''' or '''IMP''' is an [[open source]] [[PHP]]-based [[webmail]] client. It can be used to access e-mail stored on foran [[IMAP]] server. IMP is written in [[PHP]] and a component of the [[Horde (software)|Horde]] project.

It is included with [[cPanel]] and [[Plesk]] installations as a webmail client. It often integrates [[email]], [[calendar]], [[address book]], notes, tasks, [[mail filter|filter]]s and a [[News client|newsreader]] with cPanel.

==History==

Chuck Hagenbuch published a first version of IMP on [[Freshmeat]] in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.horde.org/papers/oscon2001-case_study/|title=Horde case study|publisher=www.horde.org|date= |accessdate=2012-01-21}}</ref> A constant stream of feature requests not all fitting for a webmail application led to the development of a more generic [[web application]] backbone: the [[Horde (software)|Horde framework]]. The release of IMP 3.0 and Horde 2.0 was the first one with two truly separate components.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://marc.info/?l=horde-dev&m=101003795801512&w=4|title=Horde-2.0 release|publisher=marc.info|date= |accessdate=2012-01-21}}</ref>
