Hi Jan,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my question. 

However, I would appreciate if you could give me a little bit more details
about that, or point me to some documentation. 

I couldn't locate the validateAuth() method. I'm not even sure if this is
supposed to be at Horde or IMP level. We configured our server so that IMP
provides authentication.

Also, what is the right way to validate that a user is already logged in?
And what is the right way to log out a user?

Again, thanks a lot for you help.
