This is not a good idea...

...since this will depend on said database. Why do you want to store  
the passwords in the Horde database and replicate them on the  
mailserver anyway? It is usually much easier and more robust to store  
them on only one system and let other systems authenticate clients  
there. For instance on the system running your mailserver (if that  
isn't running, authentication is moot anyway).

Why do you want that? In most Horde installations, authentication is  
handled by IMP (which in turn uses IMAP for authentication). You can  
then use whatever storage backend you want for Dovecot.

It's unclear to me what you're really trying to accomplish.
