I don't agree too much with the new name DIMP, but I was using IMP webmail with horde since long time. Today I was reading that an AJAX version of IMP have been developped in the last months. some of the great feature include :
* 3-pane layout with message preview
* Drag-and-drop support
* Context menus
* Scrollable mailbox listing being updated in the background
* Instant reply and forward
* Simplified folder management
During the last few months we developed a webmail interface on top of the successful IMP webmail client, using AJAX technologies to provide the look and feel of a desktop email client to the users. This new application is called DIMP, short for "Dynamic IMP", in line with MIMP, our webmail interface for mobile clients.

Altogether this was a great experience and a lot of fun and a nice case to show what you can achieve on top of some good open source software.
