 From what I can see you are redirecting port 443 traffic to port 443 
again creating a loop.

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin  webmaster at foo.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/horde/
    Alias /horde/ /var/www/html/horde/
    ServerName webmail.foo.com
  </VirtualHost>

#<Directory /var/www/html/horde/>
#    RewriteEngine      on
#    RewriteCond        %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
#    RewriteRule         ^.* - [F]
#    ErrorDocument    403 https://webmail.foo.com/
#</Directory>





Try something like this:



<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin  webmaster at foo.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/horde/
    Alias /horde/ /var/www/html/horde/
    ServerName webmail.foo.com
  </VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin  webmaster at foo.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/horde/
    Alias /horde/ /var/www/html/horde/
    ServerName webmail.foo.com
    Redirect / https://webmail.foo.com
  </VirtualHost>

#<Directory /var/www/html/horde/>
#    RewriteEngine      on
#    RewriteCond        %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
#    RewriteRule         ^.* - [F]
#    ErrorDocument    403 https://webmail.foo.com/
#</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin  webmaster at foo.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    ServerName webroot.mydomain.com
    Redirect /horde https://webmail.foo.com
  </VirtualHost>
