In the "For what its worth" department, if you have MS IE users and are 
providing SSL to them (like say, via https:), you *REALLY* need to know and 
understand IE's SSL bustedness with regard to keep-alives and such:

http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC49

Addressing that fixed all the problems I had with IE users a while ago.  Horde 
just happens to hit that magic condition a lot with IE.  After turning 
keepalives off for MSIE, complaints stopped about Horde not working.
