See http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-2.html#ss2.2. Use other browser or delete your server cookies stored in browser after updating .pref file. If your browser has some session information with older show_num settings, it will ignore your changes in user's .pref file. options.php should not hit memory limits. Your memory is exhausted when you load mailbox listing. options.php just happens to be next page you load. You should see similar error on any other page (Addresses, Folders, Search or Help). See http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-6.html. Make sure that don't have SquirrelMail with server side sorting disabled, if your IMAP server support IMAP SORT extension. Make sure that sort setting is set to 6 in .pref files, if server does not support SORT extension and you experience problems with large mailboxes. If you use Apache with PHP DSO extension, enable PHP APC extension to reduce your SquirrelMail memory usage. -- Tomas -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Any-way-to-reset-display-options-tp32617059p32618270.html Sent from the squirrelmail-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
