OK - verified that this works.  Still needs to be documented in  
horde/conf.xml (this is clearly documented in IMP's backends.php), as  
my confusion over this feature clearly indicates.  And this DOES work  
for all authentication backends.

That's why.  Don't set 'username' and 'password' in IMP, because those  
strings are used as the authentication strings.  If you want to use  
the Horde defaults, don't define those strings at all.
