WOW, that has to be the fastest reply I got from a mailing list ever! :)

This is my servers.php:

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => '10.100.1.101',
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'mail/',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'astrid.be',
    'smtphost' => '10.100.1.101',
    'realm' => 'astrid.be',
    'preferred' => ''
);

As you can see, I'm testdriving this on the internal network (hence the 
private IP address)

And this is horde.php (the mail part):

/**
 ** Mailer
 **/

/* What method should we use for sending mail? Valid options are
 * currently 'sendmail' and 'smtp'.
 */
$conf['mailer']['type'] = 'smtp';

/* An array holding any parameters that the Mail object will need to
 * function correctly. For sendmail, this is mainly the sendmail_path
 * option; SMTP requires at least a server and a port (if nonstandard).
 */
$conf['mailer']['params'] = array();
// $conf['mailer']['params'] = array('sendmail_path' => '/usr/lib/sendmail');
$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('server' => '10.100.1.101');

I think it is correct (both IMAP and SMTP are the same server)
