I will leave the specific question for others to answer.

I can tell you that depending upon the version of IMP/Horde you are
using, there may already be a patch for frames. Ati Ghaffar (spelling)
did a bunch of work on that for IMP 3.0 and possibly 3.1

I suppose that someone would know at the imp mail list (www.horde.org>
