Horde and sent-mail?

Hello,
I just setup a Windows server with Plesk 8.1.1 and I am astonished to find out that IMAP is not supported and therefore Horde has no options for storing sent mail or creating custom folders. I know other mailservers are supported such as hmailserver, but I don't know how to install them without breaking Plesk. Can someone take me through what I would need to do in order to get Horde or even another webmail client working in tandem with Plesk. How can I install a new mail server without disrupting all of the current email users that I already setup? HELP!
 
You can download and install hMailserver, then in the Plesk control panel under components, switch it to use hMail.

As for currently installed users, you can make a full server backup via PSADUMP, remove all the mail users, setup hMail and switch to it, then restore the backup but only tell it to restore mail accounts. Not elegant, but it works.
 
Ok, do I uninstall MailEnable FIRST? Where is this dump utility and where do I restore it from after installing hMailserver? Anything else I need to keep in mind? Any more details/help is appreciated.
