Connection is dropped by PHP because UW does not respond to SELECT INBOX command fast enough. SquirrelMail haven't started mailbox parsing. mbox format is not suitable for large mailboxes and uw does not support any indexed mailbox format suitable for NFS. Maybe mix format works with NFS better, but it is not listed in uw driver comparison. mix is supported only in uw 2006 and SquirrelMail has some known issues in that uw version. change your server or use some other imap client to clean that mailbox. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
