If you mean whether qmail is used for both POP3 and IMAP, AFAIK it is. Seems that VPOPMail relies on a shell line to change the password, but then spaces at the start of the password are read as separation spaces before the password argument. That's why POP3 fails with passwords starting with spaces... ... and IMAP access could fail as well. Don't take my word for it, but at the end of the password tests, the password was set at ' b2' (space before b2). Then I logged off SquirrelMail and tried to log in, but I couldn't. I had to ask the mail administrator to read what the password was. Maybe spaces cause trouble with IMAP access as well, or maybe I typed too many passwords and forgot the last one. New tests should be done to check this out (a single one could suffice), but I shouldn't do more tests on passwords for now. Anyway, I suppose people here (on SquirrelMail development) probably know better about this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ignacio Agulló · www.agullo.tk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ----- squirrelmail-devel mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: [email protected] List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.devel List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-devel
