[horde] Horde dead after last upgrade

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

Sorry for top-posting, IMP doesnt let me insert a new line at the end of
the email.. ....

    OK I will use your advice for backing up my stuff.. In the meantime
maybe you guys can help me recover my menu entries that are gone..

    I did remembered to have encountered the very same scenario and I was
right!  Back in December 2011, I asked the community about this issue
after an upgrade..  Jan Schneider has answered
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.horde.user/26600/focus=26601) that I
needed to restore the options in the application's menus which back then
proved to have worked, but now, its not.  I have all options set within
the calendar and contacts options, but these items are still missing from
the side menu.

    Anybody can shed some light on this?

    Thanks
