We have the same problem.  I understand the subsequent comments about  
needing a password for IMAP.  But at least in our case, we only want  
alarms that are stored in SQL so I'm not sure why Horde needs to try  
(and fail) an IMAP login.

A tentative solution for us is to set the 'load' parameter in the  
'notify' call of /usr/bin/horde-alarms to false.  This still seems to  
email the reminders correctly, and avoids IMAP authentication errors  
in the log.

Maybe this could be made easier for users by accepting an argument  
(e.g. '-n' for 'no load') to /usr/bin/horde-alarms, as in the attached  
patch.
