This isn't really a Horde related issue. That being said, since Horde  
is able to reach the mail server perhaps the mail server is only  
configured for the loopback interface?

Sounds like your preference storage backend (probably sql) is not  
running, not reachable, or the credentials that horde is using to  
login to the sql server are not correct.
