This is hard to decide.
Before saving the preferences in IMAP somehow and this way inventing
a new way of saving client data, I think we should use an 
intermediate solution which can then be transfered to all clients.

Currently the clients save their configuration locally.
This would be fine for Horde so far as well.
If I understand Gunnar correctly there are already three drivers:
a) LDAP
b) (new) IMAP
c) MySQL

and c) is still needed for some Horde stuff.

I believe c) can be the intermediate solution and I would love if this
would be done with sqlite for the time being. In this light Martin's
suggestion is quite attractive, it would make this solution more depend on
a server though which is a drawback, if we want to keep it consistent
and have the preferences be locally on the machine running Horde.

This would de-couple us form the question of:
How and where to we save general client and user preferences?
