Dear All
I am somewhat a newcomer in this area so I ask for your patience in this. I hope I am asking in the correct place and if not perhaps you can redirect me.
The error if discovered was an imp login error as can be seen below so that is why I have selected this group.
After looking over the details that I have posted I realise that Horde comes out of the box setup to use sendmail I am of course using postfix.
Many thanks
Clive Corner
I have just set up a mailserver: postfix,dovecot,mysql on Ubuntu 14.04 using https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-mysql the tutorial which is all fine and dandy -- I can send and recieve email using Imap. The usernames and encrypted passwords are stored in the localhosts mysql database.
I have just gone through the process of installing Horde Webmail edition 5 following the instructions here http://www.horde.org/apps/webmail/docs/INSTALL - the install on Apache 2.4.7 seemed to go fine and the page test.php gave me the following output:

I was a little hazy in respect to the instalation tutorial section 5
Securing Horde Groupware Webmail Edition
I am currently running HORDE on port 80 (not ssl) and wonder if it needs to run on ssl port 8080?
So I try to log in using an existing account with the correct password - one which I can use from a remote machine using an email client. The result I get is:Error connecting to mail server.
The error logged in the syslog file is
(N.B the url has been changed to example.com):
Feb 17 09:18:41 example.com HORDE: [imp] [login] Error connecting to mail server. [pid 2541 on line 730 of "/var/www/webmail/imp/lib/Imap.php"]
Feb 17 09:18:41 example.com HORDE: [imp] FAILED LOGIN for user at example.com (192.168.1.1) to {imap://localhost/} [pid 2541 on line 157 of "/var/www/webmail/imp/lib/Auth.php"]
Feb 17 09:18:41 example.com HORDE: [horde] FAILED LOGIN for user at example.com to horde (192.168.1.1) [pid 2541 on line 199 of "/var/www/webmail/login.php"]
As you can see there is an error connecting to the mailserver.
Below is my configuation file for Horde if this helps:
