Hi Arjen
Thank you for your suggestion,
I had already tried backends.local.php, but now I have one with just the
line you suggested.
I also modified backends.php so all the  example configurations have
'disabled' => true,

Please read the comments in the headers of configuration files. You should *never* modify this file. With each upgrade, these files may be overwritten, so it is *mandatory* to put all modifications in backends.local.php. Note that these are not example configurations.

I reinstated the sql database for horde with one entry in horde_users with
a plain text password so I can have an administrative login.

Don't. Start with a simple configuration where you authenticate against an IMAP server and go on from there.

In horde authentication I have sql authentication and plain encryption

I confirmed that within webmin/postfix I can access user mailboxes and
send/receive emails into the virtualmin default
/home/<virtualname>/Maildir
Under 'imap server', I have enabled imap with no encryption
On the 'mailer' I also have 'plain' authentication.
However, I'm still in the same hole and no amount of digging gets me out of
it!
the test.php script still gives IMP authentication failed
/var/log/maillog hasFeb 25 13:42:47 scotz1 dovecot: auth: mysql: Connected
to localhost (mail)
Feb 25 13:42:55 scotz1 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 2
attempts): user=<plawrie>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1,
secured

This has nothing to do with the Horde configuration files, test.php doesn't use them. The authentication in Dovecot isn't working somehow.

If I attempt to enter horde/mail with the username and password I have in
horde_users I get
 HORDE: User is not authorized for imp [pid 32760 on line 259 of
"/usr/share/pear/share/pear/
Horde/Registry.php"]
I can confirm this same username and password also set up as a 'real' linux
user in /etc/passwd

Why have you configured Dovecot to authenticate against mysql? Do you want to use system users, or virtual users here?
