I had this problem with Horde 3.0 and IMP 4.0.4 too, after updating to
3.1 it works now. You should check you locales. For debian:
/etc/locale.gen:
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8

Another option could be commenting
        $GLOBALS['language'] = $lang;
     //   $_SESSION['horde_language'] = $lang;

in horde/lib/Horde/NLS.php

and in horde/config/nls.php

$nls['defaults']['language'] = 'de_DE';
$nls['defaults']['charset'] = 'ISO-8859-1';
And in the list below in the file set as first entry
$nls['languages']['de_DE'] = 'Deutsch';

I'm not familiar with NLS, but the changes helped me with H3.0
to get Umlauts displayed correctly.
