Does the current horde user have ftp access to this host? Using the  
same credentials as the horde login?

FYI: You can use %U as a placeholder for the username.

The server process needs to have write access to the directory you are  
creating the .procmailrc file in.

I can upload/delete files

What does the log say on the FTP/ssh host?

Hi.

The problem has been solved. Indeed a permissions kind of problem. The RHEL7 based Horde server did not have ip_conntrack_ftp module loaded, when I ran the command:

modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp

everything worked as it should.

Thank you for your assistance. Much appreciated :)
