Hi I am having the same problem discussed below. However, I do not have the "pop before smtp" option available. I am not using UW IMAP server, but COURIER IMAP. Are there any other known solutions to this?
Thanks.

When one sends a medium or long message (i.e. hits the send button), the compose page will try to connect to the server and sit there trying to connect until it times out. The message will not be successfully saved to the Sent Mail folder, but the message is always delivered to the addressee successfully. Nor does the message confirmation notice ever come up. If you try and refresh the folders while the compose message is still trying to connect, the refresh will time out as well. You might want to speak to the sysadmin, and check to see if the "pop before smtp" option is set. I've seen a couple of people having issues with that on large emails when sending, using UW as an IMAP server. That's basically because the POP3 connection acquires a lock on the inbox, the send goes ahead, before the POP3 lock is released (OS delays?), SquirrelMail attempts to append the file to the sent items. When squirrelmail attempts a connection during the first step, the inbox is locked, so it halts the connection, unfortunately SquirrelMail doesn't know how to handle that, and just times out. -- Jonathan Angliss (ja <at> certiflexdimension.com) ----------------------------------------- Disclaimer Legal Notice: By having opened and read this electronic mail, you are deemed to have understood and accepted all disclaimers and conditions pertaining to electronic mail emanating from and received by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority, further detail of which may be viewed at the following link: http://www.sira-sa.co.za/disclaimer.htm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
