  Omg, guess what. As I said I updated the translation of the string "Mail" in 
horde/po/pt_BR.po file. That's the only po file in my installation with the 
string "Mail". Then, was there I made the change.
But doing some debug in my installation today I figured out that Horde/IMP was 
looking for the translation of the string "Mail" in horde/imp/locale, not in 
horde/locale where should be the right place to check.

  Then I discovered that the already compiled 
horde/imp/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/pt_BR.mo file had the translation for 
"Mail" in it, but the pt_BR.po file hasn't.
What I've done? I included the translation for the string "Mail" in IMP 
pt_BR.po file and recompiled it. Then the translation worked as was supposed 
to work.

  Then be aware: The po files with the IMP instalation DOES NOT reflect the 
already compiled mo files.

Just for feedback.
