Since some of my family members also use this, they've already told me it's broken and they use different browsers. I turned up the logs for imap and with SQM, the login is accepted, then immediately disconnected. And it appears to be a normal disconnect. How do I do PHP logging? Where is it? Nevermind. I just poked around in /var/log/httpd and finally found where php couldn't save correctly and it told me to correct the save path (/var/lib/php/session). It was in ssl_error_log. In setting up the server, I have changed some owner/group information. The directory where php stored session data had the wrong group. I changed it and now things are working correctly. Thanks for pointing me to the right spot. Hopefully this will not bite anyone else.
