Hi Amal, Thanks for your answer! Indeed, I just found the problem: I copied a /etc/passwd from one computer to another and the mysql uid changed; then the data dir weren't writable/readable by mysqld and it could not get authentication information from mysql (e.g., in Folders.php3). I was able to track the problem a bit later, after doing a purge and a reinstall of mysql-server everything worked correctly. BTW, I had the problem you mention when upgrading horde/imp. Before I did this new installation, I had to fix /etc/imp/defaults.php3 by hand, putting the missing '' Thanks again!
