[imp] [horde] IMP Forgetting/Munging Authentication Credentials

[Mark]

Hi Mohammad, Mohsen,

This sounds very much like the problem I've just had. The difference in
my case is that I'm using Horde as the login authentication method.

I was logging in to Horde with no problems, but the accessing mail via
IMP was acting like a logout.

I'm not sure if its relevant to you, but I traced it to some stuff I'd
done while playing with the permission systems. It seems I'd forgotten
to give the accounts I was using access to IMP.

Don't know if that's going to ring any bells, but by adding permissions
to allow access to IMP, everthing started working correctly again.

Regards
Mark Wilkinson
