The default hostspec for the imap config is 'localhost'. I don't
believe there's a way to modify backends from the GUI, and you
shouldn't be modifying backends.php at all.

Instead, create a 'backends.local.php' file (don't copy backends.php)
and put in config overrides of the form:

<?php
$servers['imap']['hostspec'] = 'imap.example.com;
$servers['imap']['autocreate_special'] = true;
[....]
$servers['pop']['disabled'] = false;

Then, when you upgrade the IMP application with PEAR, your
configuration changes won't be overwritten by the new default
'backends.php' file.
