That is because they aren't there!  You are the
person that keeps saying these options aren't
under the Administration menu. We keep telling
you that they are available in the Options menu.
You won' t get an Options menu if you don't have a
properly configured Horde and IMP setup with
an appropriately configured backend.

How about you send out the contents of
horde/config/conf.php and imp/config/conf.php?
Then we can see what you have configured.
Also consult the documentation in the horde/docs
and imp/docs directories about setting up
your preferences database.

Either horde can't talk to your database or
you haven't configured your database with
the correct tables and permissions.
