[imp] Horde login takes ages on Courier mailbox with 1000's folders

This is almost certainly an issue with your folders/namespace  
configuration in config/servers.php  And before you send an email  
asking "What should these settings be", read the documentation and/or  
search the list archives for one of the 1,000s of postings on this  
topic.
