[imp] sql table weirdness / pref_uid confusion

Quoting liamr@umich.edu:

In imp/config/servers.php, you probably have an entry which looks similar to 
this:

$servers['imap1'] = array(
    'name' => 'Nirgal',
    'server' => 'localhost',
    'protocol' => 'imap',
    'port' => 143,
    'folders' => 'mail/',
    'namespace' => '',
    'maildomain' => 'horde.org',
    'realm' => 'horde.org',
    'preferred' => ''
);

The 'realm' parameter is probably set to 'umich.edu' for you, and that's what's 
getting tacked on when you authenticate directly through IMP. The reason we do 
this is so that people just using IMP, and using it with multiple servers, 
don't run into name collisions.

And, the answer you're waiting for: (<g>) if you set 'realm' => '' (an empty 
string), you should get consistency.
