Yes, all other preferences I've set are persistent.

What is the pref_name in the horde_prefs SQL table that stores the  
address expansion? I've pasted in my current list below. This problem  
is happening for all my users which I've tested, and preferences  
appear to be written to the SQL table.

The closest pref_name I can see is 'search_sources', which has a  
'blob' of 58 bytes in the table. Is it possible to decode the binary  
data in the blob to see it's contents? Perhaps then I can tell when  
(or if) it's getting over written.

Or am I going the wrong way about it?

Many thanks,

Tim
