If horde is authenticating against your imap server and that imap
server is using PAM to authenticate, then it's possible to set up
multiple authentication sources in PAM with fallback.
For example, if using latest Redhat release of linux, run the
"system-config-authentication" tool and just check off all the services
that you'd like authentication to work with.
Be aware that that will modify the system-auth pam file and hence
effect all of your services on that server though. What we did was just
use that to build the correct pam file on a test box, then just named
that imap and copied that over the imap file in the /etc/pam.d dir.
