So if your user id on "webserver" is "jon" and the password is "jones", and your user id on "mailserver" is "sam" and the password is "smith", then use your MAILserver password on Squirrelmail, NOT the id you use to logon to webserver. Secondly, try a test using fetchmail: create a file called .fetchmailrc on your linux system, in your home directory, lookins gsomething like this: poll mailserver proto imap user "sam" password "smith" keep do a "chmod 700 ~/.fetchmailrc" then, try a "fetchmail -v -c" and see what happens. When fetchmail works, squirrelmail should work too. (They both use IMAP). -- \ \/ / _ |~\ _ In God We Trust.
