The problem is: If this is a shared preference it must be accessible from 
withing Horde and every application. But IMP puts features into the 
identities that aren't accessible outside of IMP like the sent-mail folder 
or doesn't make sense outside of IMP like the signatures.

This is why I have to either extend IMP's identities features with the 
globals ones or the global ones with IMP's if want to provide an ui for 
setting this preference in IMP. I tend to the latter solution.

I think it's clear why this is not trouble free! ;-)
