But what kind of authentication did you set IMP to use?

What ever login information your IMAP server is configured for, most likely.
Though there are exceptions to that rule.

What happened?  Did you check the imap server logs for errors?  Is it even
connecting to the IMAP server?

It would have to be md5(), and it doesn't sound like you want to do this
anyway (though I can't be sure).

You need to check the log files to find out why it isn't working.

Highly site specific, but most likely you want to use your imap login
credentials.

No.  It doesn't say "I don't want to help you."  It does say it there are
many variations, and it is complicated, and there is no way we can help you
without knowing the details of your setup and having your debugging help
(e.g. what the log files say is happening).

If you tell us what you see in the logs, very likely.  Check your imap
server logs first, then horde logs, then system logs.  Somewhere in there
should be the info you need to solve the problem.
