Thanks Paul, I apologize for the html formatting. I will be sure not do that again. I only mentioned the specific email addresses to point out that they both rely on info as the name for the email address, thinking it may be relevant, trying not to leave out anything in my ongoing ignorance as to what happened. My concern was not that my SquirrelMail was suddenly behaving as a sentient being (LOL) and making decisions on its own and thus changing passwords on its own. My concern is that maybe I have done something wrong in configuring the address mappings (allowing both domains to use 'info' as their account name without confusion) which may have caused the passwords to fail. Anyone else have an issue like this? Thanks again for the quick and helpful response.

SquirrelMail does not manipulate passwords unless you have a password plugin, however all the password plugins are much better behaved than that as far as I know. I don't think this has anything to do with SquirrelMail. And no, passwords nor nothing else on a computer just changes on its own. > Mail server: IMAP - dovecot > PHP - 4.3.11 > Web server - Apache 2.0.53 > This is a stock installation of Redhat Fedora Core 3, which uses RPM. > Squirrelmail version: 1.4.6 > Web server: Raid 5 windows 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
