I thought all files said that, and that it was to enable you to set
configuration via the GUI.  However, since I can't get to the GUI...

Anyway, backends.local.php now looks like ...

<?php
// IMAP server
$servers['imap'] = array(
    // ENABLED by default; will connect to IMAP port on local server
    'disabled' => false,
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'hostspec' => '192.168.1.13',
    'hordeauth' => true,
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    // Plaintext logins are disabled by default on IMAP servers (see RFC
3501
    // [6.2.3]), so TLS is the only guaranteed authentication available by
    // default.
    'secure' => 'tls',
);

?>

I get the login prompt, and then when I enter my credentials, get bounced
straight back to the same screen.
