Yes they probably will do... Though you might want to check some basic options, see if your server supports server side sorting, if so, enable it in your configuration for SquirrelMail (it's under the 'General' options if you run config/conf.pl). > * The "httpd process gone wild" by redirect.php redirect.php is where the authentication takes place.

It'd seem that they're clicking the login, and not waiting long enough for the authentication, then hitting it again, and again, and again. That might cause your IMAP server to have a hissy fit as it gets multiple login attempts really quickly. > In the middle of this situation, my server load, was pretty high: > load average: 22.54, 18.22, 12.42 It might be the result of so many quick login attempts. If your IMAP server has any kind of throttling enabled, it may only grant a certain number of logins per second, and after a short time, it may just refuse that login completely. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
