This can be achieved (in CVS HEAD at any rate) by having the user login 
from a custom form based on something like this:

<form action="https://server/horde/imp/redirect.php" method="post" name="implogin">

<input type="hidden" name="actionID" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="http://server/horde/index.php?url=http://server/horde/imp/folders.php" />
<input type="hidden" name="mailbox" value="INBOX" />
<input type="hidden" name="frameset" value="true" />
<p>
<b>Username:</b><br />
<input type="text" name="imapuser" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<b>Password:</b><br />
<input type="password" name="pass" />
</p>
<input type="hidden" name="server" value="imap" />
<p>
<input type="submit" class="button" name="loginButton" value="Log in"  />
</p>
</form>

You'll need to have the following in horde/config/conf.php:

| $conf['use_ssl'] = 2;

A drawback is that browsers may throw up a warning about being 
redirected to an insecure connection.
