Some questions. 1. Blank page means PHP error or memory_limit issue. Do you have PHP display_errors set to on and error_reporting set to E_ALL? Could you make sure that PHP memory_limit is set higher than default value? If you use default Postfix message size limits, make sure that PHP memory_limit is 20-30 MB or higher. 2. Please show list of enabled SquirrelMail plugins with version numbers 3. Do you have server side sorting enabled in SquirrelMail configuration? 4. Are you 100% sure that error is not caused php4-apc? When I tested apc extension on Sarge (or Woody, it was long ago), I couldn't use box for development because it created bogus errors when I modified PHP scripts. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
