This sounds like you either maybe have another account setup in the  
Gmail app on the Android device, whose provisioning policies are more  
secure than Horde's, or the Gmail application itself is now requiring  
certain security policies to be in place.  You can try looking at  
Horde -> Admin -> Permissions. Look at the permissions available under  
Horde -> ActiveSync (you might need to create them) and see if any of  
those look like a good candidate.

For what it's worth, my Note has the same patchlevel, and I just  
successfully added my horde account to the device, after accepting the  
security policy.
