This means the ajax server didn't respond. Most probably due to a fatal error. Check the web server logs.

We are facing this problem with authentication going through IMP (auth driver = IMP) with an imap backend but cannot confirm whether it also occurs or not if horde does imap itself authentication. The problem manifests itself if a user with an existing horde session permanent cannot authenticate to the imap backend anymore. This can happen due to several reasons, the simplest being that the password was changed externally. Now instead of being logged out the user is presented with a persistent "error communicating with server" message.
