Before testing with IMP, you should verify your IMAP server is working.
You can easily do this in Linux, by telnet-ing to the imap port number
(port 143) and testing a login as "login <username>  <password>".
For example:

$ telnet  www.mydomain.com  143
Connected to www.mydomain.com
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK
a1  login  fred  secret
a1 OK LOGIN Ok.
a2 logout
a2 OK LOGOUT completed


If you don't get a successful login doing this, then the problem is your
IMAP server authentication. Not Horde/IMP.
