Hi
Thanks Mauricio
OK, I have a postfix/dovecot that will send mail, using a sql db 'mail' and
the test.php works for IMP
I also have a horde db with a table horde_users
However, I am struggling to understand how to link a real linux user able
to send mail with the virtual users within horde
Regards

That is, in my opinion, a misconcept of how Horde/IMP works.
So you have users that can authenticate via IMAP (Dovecot) and they
can read and send mail somewhow (via Thunderbird, Outlook, Windows
Mail, Pegasus Mail...). Is that correct?
If yes, all you have to do is configure Horde/IMP to use IMAP. Read
Horde and IMP INSTALL docs (configuring), read and configure
horde/imp/config/backends.php to use your IMAP server (it has
descriptions and examples).
Horde users are just users that can authenticate via IMAP, you don´t
need to create Horde users. As you did create Horde users, I would
delete them.

Hi Simon
Thanks for the response.
I have already seen most of the pages which come up googling for the error
"HORDE: User is not authorized for imp"
Adding your name did not seem to help.
I can see there are other people with the same problem, but no solution.
The various howtos I did find on the internet all use different dbase
tables from those created by horde 5
In the mysql database created by installing horde 5 I have a table
horde_users and in that are user_uid and user_pass
I just cannot find instructions for configuring postfix and dovecot using
these.
The point is that IMP is a program, as any other, to use mail, it is not
the mail program itself. You must have you mail system working before
thinking of Horde/IMP. You must have system users, so mail system can put
incoming mail in user´s inbox (Debian: /var/mail/userlogin) and programs
(IMP, Outlook, Thunderbird...) can file IMAP folders (Debian:
/home/userlogin/mail). So this has not to do with Horde/IMP.
For a Debian example:
To add a user: useradd -c "User name" -m -s /bin/false userlogin
Set user´s password: passwd userlogin
Now userlogin can use system mail via Hord/IMP, Outlook or Thunderbird, if
Dovecot and Postfix are corretctly setup (see below).
Am I wrong in thinking that somewhere, if I look hard enough, there must
be
a howto for dovecot and postfix with a mysql username and using user_uid
and user_pass from horde_users?
As far as I know, it´s a wrong thought. You don´t have users in Outlook,
Thunderbird or Window Mail, you inform those programs data of users that
exist on a mail system elsewhere.
