That's why we have monitoring software and system admins to take care of systems. Travis Moe wrote: > >>> Using squirrelmail has been nothing but an absolute nightmare.

Funny how everyone is quick to > say it is but can't provide a solution. > They provided the solution. Check your server. "unknown user/password" error points at three possible issues. 1. IMAP server has some authentication daemon and it is stopped/crashed or can't serve all incoming requests. 2. You have problem with PHP session data storage. 3. Something changed on IMAP backend side. If you don't control your webmail setup, contact your web hosting company support. Please note that you should not blame application for system related issues. If webhosting company sets up their webmail for me and fail to setup correctly or force me to use version that I don't like, I would setup own copy of webmail in provided webhosting space. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Login-Error-tp31400867p31402862.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
