1. you can temporally switch off plaintext login restrictions in uw
/etc/c-client.cf and check if SquirrelMail can login with LOGIN
authentication.
2. create test php script with
---
session_write_close();
ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
var_dump(session_start())
---
save it in SquirrelMail root directory, open in your browser
(http://your-server/path-to-squirrelmail/scriptname.php) and check for any
error messages.
uw cram-md5 requires you to store all passwords in plain text. You want to
protect things, consider using IMAPS.
