[imp] reconfiguring how IMP communicates with the IMAP server

[Robert P. J. Day]

  as a short followup to my earlier post, i just copied over the
previous imp/ directory (very old version of IMP, but that will be
sufficient for now) and installed it under the current horde, at which
point the Mail icon now appears under horde, but no one can log in to
horde mail.

  i'm guessing that's because, in the few months past, someone else
reconfigured IMAP on this server so that it's almost certainly using
different and stronger authentication.  here's the current snippet
from imp/config/servers.php (that allegedly used to work):

$servers['imap'] = array(
    'name' => 'IMAP Server',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'hordeauth' => false,
    'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => '',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => '[deleted].com',
    'smtphost' => 'localhost',
    'realm' => '',
    'preferred' => '',
    'dotfiles' => false,
    'hierarchies' => array()
);

  that this file is now incorrect seems to be demonstrated by recent
entries in /tmp/horde.log of the form:

Nov 04 08:07:59 HORDE [error] [imp] FAILED LOGIN 192.168.169.1 to
localhost:143[imap/notls] ... blah blah ...

  do i just need to track down the person who did the reconfiguration
and ask what he did, and adjust this file accordingly?  and would that
be the *only* file i would need to tweak?  thanks.  once this is
running, i'll be updating all of the relevant horde apps but, for the
moment, the priority is to just get email running again.
