Root doesn't get email. Ever. root should be an alias to your regular user account. Now, let the debuggery begin. First off, try logging in to your IMAP server manually via telnet. If you can login there, you've eliminated IMAP as the source of your woes. Procedure: telnet yourImapHostname yourImapPort(usually 143) . LOGIN yourUserName yourPassword (There will be either success or failure reported here) . LOGOUT Now. If the login worked, we move on to debugging SquirrelMail. Run the configtest.php script and report the results of anything unusual in there. - -- Chris Hilts tassium@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SquirrelMail Developer Gun Control: Belief that violent predators willing to ignore laws against robbery, kidnapping, rape, and murder will obey a law telling them that they cannot do so with a gun. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGljoe98ixrK2vMtARAmiOAJ9Gr4wvH2WtjFwd/pcxKo0BSNrqugCfWr5a iKaWRpsIV7LvSuFtwonLjGQ= =dyiU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
