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 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
