This has been fixed in CVS and will be in Horde 3.0-RC3/IMP 4.0-RC3. 
There is only one preference for date formats now in Horde's options.

Confirmed.

Thanks for the reply and for all your hard work on this excellent product.



Actually, this *is* the only preference that does not get saved 
between sessions. I have many preferenced saved and I just confirmed 
(by selecting several other prefs at random) that others are 
successfully saved. My Preference System in Horde config is set to 
"SQL Database" using Driver configuration of "Horde defaults" using 
default table. I looked in my MySQL database and see many preferences 
saved in the horde_prefs table.



More info: if I manually edit the imp date_format entry in horde_prefs 
table, all works well between sessions (of course). Changing a pref on 
from the imp prefs does not update the db entry. My (obvious) 
conclusion is that "saving" this pref is not getting written to 
database for some reason.



Not sure if it helps, but the string that was listed in the db before 
I manually changed it was "%A %B %d, %Y", which is not one of the 
options in the drop-down list on the prefs page.



For completeness, all prefs.dist files are up to date 
(horde/config/prefs.dist v 1.76, horde/imp/config/prefs.dist v 1.213) 
and are routinely kept up to date with each cvs update.

In the unlikely event that this is the only preference that shows this 
behavior, make sure that all of your prefs.php files are updated from 
prefs.php.dist, log out and back in, and get us more details.



More likely you simply have a misconfigured prefs backend or you 
*don't* have a persistent prefs backend.

Using imp 4.0-cvs (I think this is HEAD), under Options --> Mailbox 
and Folder Display Options --> Format of message dates in the mailbox 
view for messages not dated today, my preference is not saved between 
sessions.



Thanks in advance.
