Hey
Glad yu got it sorted out.
But I have to say!
Horde is not responsible of how you setup your mail server.
If you follow some guide to set these things up.
So must the author af that guide. Be the one to blame.

First of: You must have a working imap and smtp server running.
And of cource some sort of user database.
Then you can set up Horde on top of that.
Horde is not responsible of anything dovecot or postfix or whatever
database you choose to use.
