prefs.local.php is where you should put your customizations. This near 
the top of prefs.php explains it better than I can. :-)


  * IMPORTANT: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! DO NOT COPY prefs.php TO 
prefs.local.php!
  * Local overrides ONLY MUST be placed in prefs.local.php or prefs.d/.
  * If the 'vhosts' setting has been enabled in Horde's configuration, 
you can
  * use prefs-servername.php.
