(given password: ) Looks like no password was given. What page does this happen on? Is it the first login or a subsequent one? What's the address in the address bar? Do you have session support in PHP? If so, what session storage mechanism are you using? Does your browser support cookies? You need to specify your SquirrelMail version.
