I'd advise using the built-in configuration tool (save off a copy of config.php to be safe). Under the IMAP server settings you will find "7. Secure IMAP (TLS)" and you can go from there. > 6.

(Mailbox name > should probably be prefixed with: INBOX.) (0.001 + 0.000 secs) I suggest using option D in the configuration tool to set the default Dovecot configuration. If the error persists, you can talk to the admin of the remote system to see what customizations they've made to the mailbox namespaces or you can usually hack it by fiddling with $default_folder_prefix -- in this case it sounds like it needs to be set to 'INBOX.' or just 'INBOX' > noticed in the docs about multiple servers - what's the curret stat of > that ? (not that is my problem - though, sounds interesting) I have a plugin that's not released that can allow you to switch IMAP accounts in 1.4.x; IIRC code for that kind of thing isn't implemented in 1.5.x -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ----- 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
