I'm using the newest stable version of SquirrelMail 1.4.9a and I have a problem with logging in. I'm using Debian and UW-IMAP. My config.php looks as below: $imapServerAddress = 'localhost'; $imapPort = 143; $imap_server_type = 'uw'; Everything works fine if user's mailbox (/var/spool/mail/username) is empty. In this case user can log in, see folders list, browse each of them and send a new message. But when mailbox is not empty - and for instance contains just one single message then it takes much longer to log in and at the end I get the following errors: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server", "Query: SELECT "INBOX"" and depending on the value of '$imap_server_type' option - also "UNSEEN RECENT MESSAGES". In the log file there is no additional errors and it looks fine: Jan 4 00:44:42 host imapd[1039]: Login user=janusz host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Jan 4 00:44:42 host imapd[1039]: Logout user=janusz host=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] As I see each imapd process which is started in the time of logging in starts also 'mlock' process. janusz 16307 0.0 0.1 4544 1792 ? S 00:39 0:00 imapd janusz 8638 0.0 0.0 1664 564 ? S 00:41 0:00 /usr/bin/mlock 3 /var/mail/janusz Searching trough the mailling list archives I found only one solution: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7633712 [...] I have noticed an interested thing; Only one user account is able to view the INBOX messages correctly and all the other user accounts can get into INBOX only if there are no messages for them in var/mail/ . That means all the users except one can properly logon only if INBOX is empty. Does this observation lead us to any useful pointer? [...] I have set the "Secondary groups" to "wheel" for all the user accounts and miraculously everything seems working good now. All the users are now able to view INBOX properly. I am not sure why that has fixed the problem. Any clues? -- But it seems that it doesn't apply to me (in my Debian distro I don't have wheel group and setting up 1777 permission to the mailbox doesn't help) I would be very grateful for any ideas what's the reason why I get those errors...
