I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. But for reference we
did NOT want our users to be able to change their "from" address so we  
put this in place.

 From ..horde/config/hooks.php:
if (!function_exists('_prefs_hook_from_addr')) {
  function _prefs_hook_from_addr($user = null)
{
$fromaddr = "$user at msu.edu";
return $fromaddr;
}
}
  And in

..horde/config/prefs.php
// user preferred email address for From: line
// If you lock this preference, you must specify a value or a hook for it in
// horde/config/hooks.php.
$_prefs['from_addr'] = array(
     'value' => '',
     'locked' => true,
     'shared' => true,
     'type' => 'text',
     'desc' =>  _("Your From: address:"),
         'hook' => 'true'
);
