yes, I know.   $conf[auth][params][app]  : imp being set to IMP is a 
pretty big clue there that I caught.

horde is on my imap server. I understand that  would be a problem 
were that not the case.

clearly.

I know I'm using IMAP auth. And I know I can't manage imap auth via horde.

However, horde appears to have options to use the local auth 
(/etc/passwd  , /etc/shadow). I can't get them to work. I'd like 
assistance in getting them to work, precisely so I can manage users via horde.

One reason is that the documentation for managing users via mySQL is 
ALSO not very good/available. (a beginning to end instruction set). 
Another reason is just that it seems like it should be simple to set 
up this way.
