I hadn't run the script - but after setting testdisable to false, I
get this result.

Local File Permissions

    * Is /usr/share/horde4/lib/../static writable by the web server user? Yes

Which I presume is what you were after, yes?  Everything else is
either green or yellow (in the case of Kolab or LDAP, neither of which
I use).

This appears to be limited to firefox into which I've logged as the
administrator (despite clearing the cookies and the cache.  Twice).
However, if I log in (same browser to another account whilst the
log-in screen has no CSS, as soon as I navigate to different
applications, it all looks normal.  And the log-out screen does have
CSS.  One exception - I logged in one other account and all the apps,
except IMP, were ok.  On the other account, everything was OK.
Everything appears to be okay in Chromium too.

I also have multiple domains - so horde is available on
https://webmail.domain1.com and https://webmail.domain2.net - however,
both accept any valid user account from the IMAP server (so I could
login with simon at domain1.com on the domain2.net interface for example.
 And here I see the same issue - when I log in, my CSS is hosed, but
other accounts are not.

So it appears to be limited to a) firefox I've logged in at (until you
log in with a different account, then it's fine), and b) my account
anywhere I log in.  Perhaps it's something to do with the theme?  But
in fact my account doesn't have theme modifications (although one of
the other accounts I use - postmaster - does; and that works fine)..

Oh - I don't know if this is related, but I was testing also the
mobile interface messages list fix - and that works fine.  I have no
problem with the CSS there!

Then I turned CSS caching off - and whilst the page reloaded and
looked great, I got this error when I logged off:

A fatal error has occurred
Failed to import configuration file "/usr/share/horde4/lib/../config/nls.php".
Details have been logged for the administrator.

Also, when I log back in the js in the sidebar no longer works unless
I turn off the js caching.

So, then I turned both off and it was fine.

Finally, I renabled both - but chose Horde Caching instead of the
recommended file system - and this too appears to work.  However, I'd
like to follow the horde team's recommendations where possible..

Currently my cache settings look like:

$conf['cache']['default_lifetime'] = 86400;
$conf['cache']['params']['sub'] = 0;
$conf['cache']['driver'] = 'File';
$conf['cache']['compress'] = true;
$conf['cache']['use_memorycache'] = '';
$conf['cachecssparams']['driver'] = 'horde_cache';
$conf['cachecssparams']['lifetime'] = 86400;
$conf['cachecssparams']['compress'] = 'php;
$conf['cachecss'] = true;
$conf['cachejsparams']['driver'] = 'horde_cache';
$conf['cachejsparams']['compress'] = 'php';
$conf['cachejsparams']['lifetime'] = 86400;
$conf['cachejs'] = true;
$conf['cachethemes'] = false;


Perhaps it's a file system permissions issue?
