Any any chance we solve this also?

Then I would have the perfect Horde4 server setup, with no errors anymore.

This is kind of cosmetical issue for me, because it produces a syslog  
entry every few minutes.

Nevertheless, I am able to log into Gollem without problems.

Interesting is that this only affecting my user, I do not see this on  
other users.

Kind regards,
Andreas
