Hello Michael

Thanks for your quick answer.


I just tried to check if imp is authenticated with

$registry->isAuthenticated(array('app' => 'imp')  and $registry->isAuthenticated(array('app' => 'imp' , 'notransparent' => true)).

Both return true and I get the same loop. I tried also $registry->getAuthCredential(null, 'imp'); to get the credentials from imp but this only gives me the horde authentication.

Perhaps i am looking in the wrong place, any hint to the solution would be great. 

With regards
