I actually do run the dag repository as well and IIRC, his repository is actually where the last few squirrelmail updates have come in. There are no problems with the messages. I can delete the mailfile, send a message in myself and the same thing happens. Nothing shows up that I can find in the server logs.. I just get this message in SquirrelMail: "*ERROR:* The server couldn't find the message you requested. Most probably your message list was out of date and the message has been moved away or deleted (perhaps by another program accessing the same mailbox). " I've been watching maillog, messages, access_log and error_log. Do I need to turn up logging? Where should the error show up? Meanwhile SquirrelMail will let me select (toggle) a message and move it to a different folder, even though it seems to think the message isn't there... and once it is in the other folder it will let me open it. SquirrelMail will also let me select (toggle) individual messages within the inbox and it allows me to successfully delete them. It just won't let me click on a subject line to open one to read while it is in the inbox. All other messages in all other folders work fine. The other oddity, is this is just on a few accounts not all of them. It is happening on multiple servers. So far each time it has occurred on the root user account... so far not on any of the sub-accounts.
