Hi Mike,

thank you very much for your help. Your suggestion fixed the issue.

My installation was using horde/core v3.3.0. I changed Core as you 
suggested:

composer require 
'horde/core=dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0#1b86e3c04b35863326c26fb9058233249a7ccb66'

This upgraded horde/core from v3.3.0 to dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 1b86e3c.

I first tested Horde with the new Core and the previously working 
horde/horde version. Login, IMP, sending mail and logout all worked 
without any problems.

I then ran a normal composer update, which updated:

horde/horde: dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 9b4c208 -> dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 f851ea4
horde/imp: dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 3852464 -> dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 3a07a96
horde/yaml: v3.0.1 -> v3.0.2

horde/core remained at dev-FRAMEWORK_6_0 1b86e3c as explicitly required.

I tested Horde again afterwards in a fresh private browser session: 
login, IMP, sending mail and logout all work correctly. The MotdLoader 
error is gone.

One additional observation regarding the dependency:

My installation is based on the official horde/bundle repository 
(https://github.com/horde/bundle.git). In the original bundle 
composer.json, horde/core is not a direct requirement. It was therefore 
installed as a transitive dependency and remained at the stable v3.3.0 
during my original composer update.

The newer FRAMEWORK_6_0 horde/horde code already uses 
Horde\Core\Config\MotdLoader, but Composer still considered horde/core 
v3.3.0 a valid dependency. This resulted in the combination where the 
new horde/horde code expected MotdLoader while the installed Core did 
not contain that class.

So I wonder if the dependency requirements in FRAMEWORK_6_0 need to be 
adjusted so that Composer automatically pulls in a sufficiently recent 
horde/core version when updating horde/horde.

In any case, explicitly requiring the FRAMEWORK_6_0 Core commit solved 
the problem here.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

Best regards
Becki
