"ERROR:* Error connecting to SMTP server "some-address".Server error: (13) Permission denied" usually means SELinux issues on Fedora, RedHat and CentOS. 2. Enable Mercury/32 IMAP module and make sure that you are running latest Mercury version. 4.01 has issues with international folder names. 3. In SquirrelMail configuration set IMAP server address to your Mercury/32 server address. CourierIMAP can't read Mercury/32 mailboxes. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/squirrelmail-1.4.7-4-fc4%3A-enabling-web-access-to-MERCURY-32-mailboxes--tp18533174p18541504.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
