As noted on my previous ticket (#1819), we are using LDAP authentication for
Horde and our IMAP server uses saslauthd for authentication, which passes
through to the LDAP server.  A periodic authentication problem occurs like
so:

Initial login to Horde works fine.  However, login to IMP fails the first
time.  If you click on anything mail related, after the first failed login,
IMP behaves fine.  This is particularly noticeable if you have your startup
application set to IMP.  I switched to using Horde as my startup
application, because of this issue and have rarely encountered it since.  It
seems to happen more when accessing Horde from a remote location, like home,
but also occurs less frequently on our LAN here as well.

I don't know if its a latency issue or if there is some sort of race
condition that exists upon initial login.  I'll try to get some plaintext
packet captures if I can, to see if requests for authentication are actually
going out and what is being returned.
