No element of Horde should connect with the "manager" account. Having  
the entry in $conf['auth']['admins'] should
have no effect - it is only used to determine who the system administrator is.

Could be. But hard to tell from just looking at the one log line.  
Increase the log level of kolabd to see its activity is synchronized  
with the logged imap error.

Cheers,

Gunnar
