If the login name/password contains characters that need to be escaped we 
didn't unescape them correctly. This is fixed in cvs.
You can either look at the according changes in imp/lib/IMP.php under 
http://cvs.horde.org and apply them locally or turn magic_quotes_gpc off 
for the horde/imp directory.
