The only other way this plugin supports is if your IMAP login username is the exact same as a local system user. If that's the case, set the permissions and ownership of the config/config.php file as follows: owner: your username group: that of the user running the web server (maybe "apache", "wheel", "www", etc.) owner permissions: rw- (6) group permissions: rw- (6) other permissions: --- (0) (aka chmod 660 config/config.php) I think the Administrator plugin may not have been updated with one or two of the most recent conf.pl updates, so using the Administrator plugin may result in certain settings being inadvertently removed. If you don't use those settings, this may not matter, but to be safe, please configure SquirrelMail with conf.pl and make a backup copy of config/config.php and after using the Administrator plugin, compare the modified version with the original to make sure you didn't lose anything critical. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ----- 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
