This is not entirely true. Horde *does* support a home email address,  
but you need to configure it in your backends file. The way the email  
fields work in Turba is as follows:

Turba can accept either a single "email" field, or both a "home" and  
"work" email address fields. I don't know that Android uses "home" as  
default, as Simon suggested since out of the box, my droid syncs email  
fields perfectly with Turba - using a single "email" address field.  
Perhaps this is vendor specific?

If you want to (or need to) support the "home" email field, you must  
tell Turba to use it. This is done in backends.php (or  
backends.php.local) by editing the field mappings. Note that you  
cannot currently use both 'email' and the home/work email fields.

  When I pushed the '+' on my droid to give the user a second
> email (for work), THAT email address mapped to horde's EmailAddress.

Turba maps the email fields as follows:

email1address => email
email2address => homeEmail
email3address => workEmail

>> So it is syncing at least.  The question now becomes, how do I change the

See above. You need to add the homeEmail/workEmail => database field  
mappings as well as ensure that your database (assuming you are using  
a SQL backend) can accept both email fields.
