I'm watching this with some interest here as I found the same thing with
HEAD...if I leave rootdn & rootdn password empty for what I assumed to
be an anonymous bind, it fails.

Also - and this has to be because it's not patently obvious to me, I
would love NOT having to log in once for horde (via LDAP) and then again
for mail (IMAP)  My initial thought was to grep ldap imp/config/* but
that returned as much the notion in my head to make it work as a single
log in.

Other fish to fry tonight though.

Keep me posted - I have no problems following in any wake  ;-)
