History

Chuck Hagenbuch published a first version of IMP on Freshmeat in 1998.[2] 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 framework. The release of IMP 3.0 and Horde 2.0 was the first one with two truly separate components.[3]

SAPO uses IMP[4] to provide several million users with a webmail platform.[5]
