InternetMessagingProgram

The Internet Messaging Program (IMP), "is written in PHP and provides webmail access to IMAP and POP3 accounts." [1]

At Dartmouth

Both JaredA and Stephen Cochran? have been experimenting with the IMP program.

We might see IMP on the 'sa' webserver or perhaps on one of the Dosc Servers? very soon, and in fact both Jared and Stephen have gotten IMP to talk to the DND (nice work guys!).

What about NetBlitz and WebBlitz?

No word yet on how IMP will stack up against NetBlitz and WebBlitz, but I see stuff on both sides:

• IMP is professionally developed, etc...
• The blitzes are in-house, but use the Blitz protocol and support server addressbooks, DND editing and password changing, Bulletins, etc..

So it will be interesting to see what happens with IMP.
