OK, first off - a rule of thumb.  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.
