To make things crystal clear, are we talking Horde's authentication or the
IMAP server's authentication? Mine is set to allow Horde to handle auth,
through imp. I'm guessing Horde is asking the IMAP server to authenticate,
correct? If that's the case, Horde would pass the login name to the IMAP
server, which would be expecting a full email address, not just a username,
and it would be the IMAP server, causing the "problem" and rejecting the
login, right?
