Thanks, I'll try to play with that.

I'm interested in from_addr which is horde's default preference.

Unfortunately I've had to change it to 'enum' and fill it from within 
prefs.php instead of using hook as documented on
http://marc.info/?l=horde&m=130708668024663&w=2

I hope that I'll be able to fetch the array from remote database at 
login, and put it into session data, so all further calls to prefs.php 
will only fetch values from session.

Thanks, I've found the preferences, although I don't see reason why 
I can't set preference of type "enum" within hook returning an array...
