[horde] Current preferred stack for Horde

[Lester Caine]

I've been slowly moving legacy sites to PHP7 which has become a tedious 
job when many are still running fine on PHP5.2, but the new servers only 
have PHP7.0.x currently and I need everything working on that going 
forward. I HAVE had an install of horde running on one of the machines, 
but messed up between the initial admin access and creating users. I 
tried to 'reset' that, but without much success, so having a couple of 
other machines available just started again from a clean setup without 
any PEAR installed. I use my own PHP7 compliant PEAR with the websites 
so do not use the PEAR install normally. The second install did not go 
as expected and I'm not sure why. All machines are a clean SUSE42.3 base 
from the same disk, but now I have a working initial admin panel which 
complains about the 'secret key' when I try to update the main config file.

Questions ...
1 - Knowing that PEAR is no longer 'flavour of the day' with the PHP 
development team, is Horde stable with PHP7?
2 - Alternatively, what is the preferred stack to run it?
3 - I'm looking mainly for a local email service that can mirror 
multiple email accounts and handle a now 40Gb archive of messages. Is 
Horde the right way to be going anyway? I think I was expecting a LOCAL 
login to be the default, and then connect to additional remote servers, 
but that does not seem to be the case?
