Re-looking at the imap client code, the authentication password is  
never output to the debug stream.  So this won't work.

Instead, we will need to manually debug the code.  In  
imp/lib/Auth.php, on line 88 (just before the line  
$imp_imap->createImapObject($credentials['userId'],  
$credentials['password'], $credentials['server']);), insert the  
following:

Horde::debug($credentials);

It should look like:

             try {
                 Horde::debug($credentials);
                 $imp_imap->createImapObject($credentials['userId'],  
$credentials['password'], $credentials['server']);
             } catch (IMP_Imap_Exception $e) {
                 self::_logMessage(false, $imp_imap);
                 throw $e->authException();
             }

Then check the debug output file (see below for further information).   
You are looking for the 'password' entry - see if the password is what  
you expect for that user.
