Hi Michael,
sorry, my initial post conained a typo. Of course I meant that after 
bringing back the entries by resetting or removing and re-adding the 
account, they DISappear (not appear) again after some time.
I was under the impression that changing calendar or contacts sync 
settings would cause the problem, as it worked fine for a few days and 
the contacts disappeared this morning, after I added a new calendar and 
configured it for syncing in Horde.
However, just after my last mail, I reset the account again, contacts 
appeared in the phone, and I just left it at that. Some 15 minutes 
later, the contacts had disappeared again. When I have these problems, 
the calendar synchronization seems to be affected, too. Sometimes the 
phone tells me there are no calendars on that accout for syncing and 
displaying, other times I see duplicate entries on the phone.
Data in Horde seems to be unaffected by this, meaning the duplicate 
entries don't show up there.

I have another Exchange account configured on this phone, connected to a 
real Exchange 2003 server at my employer's site. This account seems to 
work okay, so the problem seems to be some Galaxy Nexus/ICS/Horde 
incompatibility issue.

So, yes, I am asking why the contacts disappear and NEVER reappear 
unless I reset the sync partnership. Any hints for me what I should be 
looking for?

Best,
