Fri, 10 Apr 2026 19:46:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10145 IMAP BADLOGIN - every 5 minutes Every 5 minutes, at the same time as Turba does a bind without a password as I have logged here - http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10144 - Imp tries to do an IMAP login without a password. The Horde log gets these (two every time): 2011-05-26T16:40:07+10:00 ERR: HORDE [imp] IMAP server denied authentication.

ActiveSync is off. Something *is* doing these authentication requests. If you can rule out browsers and ActiveSync clients, you have to find *what* it is. Fri, 27 May 2011 10:41:24 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10145#t65171 Aha... You got me thinking. As per instructions here: http://www.horde.org/apps/horde/docs/INSTALL#configuring-horde Section 5: Setting up alarm emails If you want your users to be able to receive emails from the Horde_Alarm system, you must set up a cron entry for horde-alarms, you must have at least one administrator specified in the Horde configuration, and you must have the PHP CLI installed (a CGI binary is not supported - php -v will report what kind of PHP binary you have). Running the job every 5 minutes is recommended: # Horde Alarms */5 * * * * /usr/bin/horde-alarms If not installing Horde through PEAR of if PEAR's bin_dir configuration doesn't point to /usr/bin/, replace /usr/bin/horde-alarms with the path to the horde-alarms script in your Horde installation. I have this setup. Disable the Cron job and the errors stop, both the IMAP binds with BADLOGIN and also the Turba failed LDAP binds. Sooooo. According to the instructions - you must set up a cron entry for horde-alarms - DONE you must have at least one administrator specified in the Horde configuration - YES and you must have the PHP CLI installed - YES So how can I get this working without the constant errors?
