Hi Paul,
I have a Woody mail/web server running uw-imapd-ssl, postfix, apache, mysql,
php, and horde/imp. To add a user to the system, simply execute (as root)
adduser --shell /sbin/nologin someuser somegroup (this assumes you do not
want them to have shell access, only mail). Once that is done, assuming all
the other apps are configured correctly, they new user should immediatly be
able to log into Horde and use the various apps.

I'm not sure about this error, but one mistake I made in the beginning was
adding the imap daemon to /etc/inetd.conf. Another possibility is that you
do not have the various mysql support packages installed. On my system I
have: postfix-mysql, libapache-mod-auth-mysql, and php4-mysql. Check and
make sure you at least have those.
