That's the only one we have, no "enterprise" version of anything. It's  
all open source.

Yes, the config file has documentation directly in it.

Well, this is a bit out of scope for a Horde support mailing list. You  
first need to have a working email system before attempting to  
configure Horde. Concentrate on getting Dovecot setup properly. If you  
want Horde to be able to manage the users you will need to have  
Dovecot configured to authenticate against a database (and not system  
users), then configure Horde's authentication to connect to the same  
database. There are plenty of tutorials online to help you get this  
part squared away. Once you get that working, you need to configure  
Horde's authentication system to use "SQL (with custom queries)."  
using the administrative interface. If you don't care about Horde  
managing the users, and you can just set up Dovecot using system users  
(which is probably what it installs as default).

If you need help with the Horde config part, let us know after your  
email system is setup properly.
