Currently under testing: Dynamic IMP

IMP has been around Lehigh for many years and has been the email of choice for travelling staff and students. IMP is developed under the auspices of the The Horde Project, a group that develops Open Source applications.

Dynamic IMP, or DIMP, is also under development by Horde. Horde is similar to IMP but it uses technologies that offer a more interactive/dynamic interface. LTS is in the very early stages of testing DIMP, but here is a screen shot. You can click the image to enlarge it.



DIMP has a message preview function similar to Gmail, Thunderbird, or Outlook Express. In fact the look and feel is similar to these to products. LTS is currently testing DIMP but we hope to roll it out soon.
