Well, the goal is simple: let users (virtual host users ) use imp with the
vacation and password feature (and others - but this I will see later - nag,
turba etc. ) to see, use and change their mailboxes (or mailbox preferences).
They don't need to use Horde in any way.


I thought that, while I'm testing and configuring Horde and via Horde all
modules, I will use Horde as root and since the moment that all will work fine,
I would change the auth to "Let another application ..." and set it to imp,
making the entries in "apache conf." and all users could use webmail on my
machine without passing through horde...


***
I think , yesterday I made a mistake, because I cannot login more to horde as
root, it always logs in as "li".

I always deleted the conf.php and used conf.php.bak (mv conf.php.bak conf.php)
restarted apache) the problem contnues the same-
I guess that I not really understand the connection between the programms ans
confs...


Thanks for explanations and solutions.
