Actually, the fact that you 'don't use webmail' is what doesn't make sense
for me. Does horde come with anything else for mail access? It doesn't have
it's own built-in POP3/IMAP4 server/subsystem :-)

I use the user that is configured as Horde admin, which is a valid
pop3/imap4 user on the server as well.

My mail log? that would be imap4/pop3 log from dovecot. And yes, it shows I
successfully logged in.

Yes. I run Groupoffice <https://group-office.com/> on this system too, used
by several users.


M$ Outlook also works pretty well with pop3/imap4.
