The authentication entry is in one log, the PHP erors are logged elsewhere.
Have you indeed looked in the PHP error log?

Cf. <http://wiki.horde.org/FAQ/Admin/Troubleshoot?referrer=FAQ%2FAdmin#toc2>.

horde/imp/test.php is using the c-client only, not the PHP-based IMAP client,
so your PHP/PEAR installation may still be incomplete, or buggy.

Early this year, I had a similar problem and traced it down to a buggy
fsockopen (PHP standard routine), cf. <http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=4943>.
As my colleague in charge of maintaining the PHP installation on
that server did not succeed in getting it correctly running, I ended up
with my Webmail server installed on a different host with a different
operating system; there it runs satisfactorily.

Good luck,
