[imp] problems configuring with imp6.0.4 on horde5.0.4

[peter lawrie]

Hi Mauricio
Thanks for the response.
I'm still struggling to make this work.
I have removed the users I created through horde and changed to imap
authentication.
This server is running horde, virtualmin and will also be an imap
mailserver.

I can send emails out using telnet localhost smtp
But cannot get authentication for IMP on the test.php
dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<
plawrie at scotz.co.uk>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS

I logged out of horde and now I can't login again because I have deleted
the entries from horde_users in the horde db
The username I am trying to login with is correct in another sql database
'mail' which dovecot-mysql.conf points to.

I could just fiddle with conf.php to get back in, but I'm trying to make it
work the way you advised.
Regards
Peter Lawrie
