It is not related to TLS requirement. User can login (left folder listing works). TLS requirement is applied when connection is opened. You won't be able to login, if you don't pass tls requirement by using imaps or starttls or by disabling it. > > Any help or direction to more documentation would be appreciated.

I suspect that it is related to used mailbox format. mbox format does not allow shared access. If you are using sessions that don't lock displayed PHP scripts (left frame with mailbox tree and right frame with mailbox listing), scripts access same mailbox simultaneously and UW freaks out. Or scripts are connecting faster than UW releases mailbox locks. Or you have other program, that keeps permanent connection to UW. Or some SquirrelMail plugin opens second IMAP connection in right_main.php script. Maybe newmail or filters plugin. You might be able to avoid it with imapproxy. See http://www.imapproxy.org Good fix is to use mailbox format that allows shared access. Cyrus, Courier and Dovecot support other formats that are better than mbox. If you want more thoughts about it, search for "uw lost mailbox lock" in your favorite search engine. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
