Clear as glass.

Are you using SQL authentication? I didn't see any configuration details 
for how auth is configured to work in your previous posts. If you intend 
to use IMP auth, you should either set it up correctly so that the user 
exists, or manually create a horde user in your SQL tables if using SQL 
authentication. This can be done with a simple piece of SQL:
insert into horde_users (user_uid, user_pass) values ('someuser', 
md5('somepass'));

Perhaps something such as this should be included in the table creation 
scripts? A default of admin:admin with a notice somewhere that it should 
be changed? What's the policy on creating default accounts?
