Yes, there have been numerous cases like yours.
Does anyone has this experience? I am just asking for suggest to improve in Horde/IMP webmail environment.
There is not much anyone can do but to keep their (and users) passwords safe. Because Horde and IMP are open source, spammers do always have the access to the source code and hence can always find a way to send spam simulating a browser if they have correct credientials to use the system.
Summa summarum: It's not the client programs fault if someone gets credientials needed to send spam via the program. From a spammers point of view the same thing can be accomplished with numerous other email clients as well (programs running on workstations are off course a bit harder to hack).
