  oh, dear.

  at the risk of asking a hideously embarrassing question, are you
saying that i *need* imapproxy running for my horde login to work?
because, at the moment, it isn't since it's broken somehow in this
upgraded version of lenny.  i've been fighting with imapproxy for days
now, and can't get it installed without it failing with a config
error so i finally just took it out.

  and based on what you wrote, that kind of explains what i'm seeing
(maybe).  it appears that the horde login works fine, only to
instantly drop the authentication and start all over again.  is that
why i get told "successful login," only to keep returning to the login
screen over and over?

  if that's the case, i guess i better figure out what's wrong with
imapproxy.
