When using XML/RPC to interface with Horde, one must give the full email
address of the user to authenticate.

However, when one accidentially only gives the login name (say, "joe.user"
instead of "joe.user at my-server.com"), authentication still succeeds but
behaviour is incosistent. E.g., in the example
http://wiki.horde.org/XmlRpcPythonHowTo an incorrect list of calendars is
returned and retrieving any calendar fails with an "access denied"
message.

To resolve this, either specifying only the login name should fail
completely or the behaviour of both login methods should be consistent.
