Authentication Problem: log appears to be muddled

I'm running Imp v.2.2.5 and Horde v.1.2.5 on RH 6.2 with Apache(mod_ssl).
I'm able to login to Imap through a client such as Eudora but not through
Imp.  It gives me the error: "Either you have logged in incorrectly or your
login has expired. Please login again."  I checked the maillog and this is
what it reported:

This seems rather odd to me.  I used the same user/pass each time.  Is this
log dump normal?  Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
