Revision as of 02:32, May 5, 2006 by 06emm (talk | contribs)

IMP, the Internet Mail Program, is a web-based email client that is accessible to Williams people at http://imp.williams.edu. IMP is part of the open-source Horde project.

Tips

It can be annoying to see the oldest messages when you first log in. To change this setting, go to Options -> Display Options, and set it to sort by Arrival Time (Descending).

Don't use IMP on your own computer! It really sucks compared to a nice client like Mozilla Thunderbird. See configuring an email client

Trivia

The first version of IMP was written by a student at Williams, Chuck Hagenbuch '00, and initially deployed at http://webmail.williams.edu/ on WSO's servers. WSO handed off the webmail address to OIT in Spring 2003.
