crystal ball cloudy today - seems as though it was cloudy the last time
you asked the exact same question - appears that you have made little
effort on your own to solve.

/var/log/maillog (show authentication error? information?)
/var/log/messages (show authentication error? information?)

try accessing /webroot/horde/test.php
show any problems?

try accessing /webroot/horde/imp/test.php
show any problems?

try 
telnet localhost 143
can you login?

if you can login, you should be able to login via the same username you
used when you logged in as in the telnet session

you need to expend a little bit of effort figuring out what the problem
is yourself.
