I would recommend it, because the user must first authenticate via  
Horde Authentication, in any way.
So if I collect 3 external mail accounts, I need to log on 4 times.
If the password could be stored e.g. in the database only the well  
trusted administrator would have access to it. But I hope they are all  
Snowdens...

This is not user friendly at all, but surely the developers have a reason(?)
Some kind of SSO possible for that?

Thank you,
Andreas
