[horde] postfix: auth using email-address

[LALOT Dominique]

Instead of using a flat imap domain, you can login imap using email
adresses. That could be done using cyrus.
If you have a central ldap with emails inside, you can search email, get uid
then bind with the password. That should not be so complicated
