Well your preferences are still there.  One of the config file probably got 
changed.  My guess would be the realm attribute of the servers.php 
file.  From the horde/imp/servers.php file:
* realm: What to append to usernames for preferences and Horde
* authentication to prevent login clashes on virtual host setups.
To restore the preferences you can either change the database keys to the 
appropriate realm or change the realm attribute in the servers.php file.  I 
probably would choose the first option so that the complete e-mail address 
is being used as the key.

I think you got it working but just in case you haven't your setup should 
be as follows:
horde/imp/config/conf.php
$conf['server']['server_list] = true;
$conf['server']['server_list_hidden'] = true;
And in horde/imp/config/servers.php specify the server you want to use.

If you would like the user to be able to choose from a fixed set of servers:
$conf['server']['server_list] = true;
$conf['server']['server_list_hidden'] = false;
And in horde/imp/config/servers.php specify the servers that should be aviable.

The default setting allows the user to enter any server info they want and 
the horde/imp/config/servers/php file is not used:
$conf['server']['server_list] = false;
$conf['server']['server_list_hidden'] = false;
