I thought the horde preferences were stored in LDAP?   After some reading, and 
research it seems this changed sometime during the 2.2.x releases?

https://issues.kolab.org/issue3567

The LDAP storage is actually commented out in the slapd.conf.template, and the 
webclient-kolab.php.template files.   So it is definitely _not_ in LDAP by 
default.

The preferences should be stored on the filesystem then?  (I admit i do not 
know how the preference system works).   It looks like PHP session files?   
Located in : /kolab/var/kolab/www/client/tmp

Does the upgrade of packages clear out that tmp directory?   That would AFAICS 
wipe out all filesystem preferences stored in there.  If the default 
implementation for the web client prefs is to be stored in files, then should 
there not be a special directory to store them?  And not just in a tmp dir?

If that is really the case, and I'm not misunderstanding something, then I 
think a bug should be filed on this.

<snip>
The Horde user preferences have been traditionally stored in the Kolab LDAP 
tree. This is still the recommended version and there exists a 
special "kolab" driver that implements this option. There are also other 
options available for storing the user preferences and you can choose between 
SQL db, file and IMAP based approaches if you don't want to use LDAP.

Is this just a case of "out of date"?  I simply do not know enough in this 
area to definitively explain things.  I agree that Gunar is probably the 
expert on this.
