I followed one of the How-To's I found at squirrelmail.com. It said to use this location (double 'Data', so SM directories 'Attach' & 'DATA' both lie under 'DATA'). I also read a lot of the SM ML posts before posting (as I should :), so found out that if custom path (my D:\DATA) fails, SM then tries the default location (../DATA/) looking for Default_Pref. I've put it in both locations. My HTTPD (Apache) runs under the LocalSystem account, which is the most powerful [local] account on a NT based system. It has full permissions for both locations and files. Should I use another user, instead? I can see the file when I use Apache dir-browsing, and it opens just fine...
