Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:35:34 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/788 Preference for date format not saved 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.

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

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. E.

Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:49:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/788#t3377 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. Thu, 25 Nov 2004 16:00:52 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/788#t3379
