If they are the same as fully-formatted email addresses, ie., keiko@xxxxxxxxxxx, then I suggest that you only need one data directory, and remove the data_dir setting completely. If you really need separate data directories for each server login, then show the permissions AND ownership of both of the above directories (note that both of them are being accessed on the server where SquirrelMail is installed). Also compare the directory permissions and ownership against the following FAQ pages and maybe you can solve your own problem: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/DataPermission http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/QuickAndDirty ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
