[horde] Users

Yes, but it wouldn't be useful in most cases, so why?

I'd encourage you instead to inquire of your IMAP software support
people how to set it up.  And then simply configure Horde to match
(and IMP to use Horde authentication).

Correct, but I also explained that if you setup dovecot to use SQL
(et al), then Horde can also use the same SQL to manage the users (without
going through dovecot to do it).

Yes, it would.

Not until you tell me what you want to do.  Do you want to use SQL, or
LDAP, or something else?  Do you want to stick with dovecot, or would
you prefer another imap server?  Do you care if your users need to login
separately to Horde and IMP, rather than a single login?  What management
facilities are needed?  More questions that answers at this point.

If I can find the time, maybe I'll document some of this on the wiki.
