Before IH added "SquirrelMail" as a webmail option for us (www.yourdomain.com/sqmail/), I had already setup and was using Squirrel Mail on my own and was using the "simple pop fetch" add-in module to check other POP3 accounts from within my main account.

Since the servers were upgraded to PHP 4.3.1 and the mySQL was upgraded, I have been having an annoying problem or two....

1. When I go to log in, the first time ALWAYS does not work. When I click the link to take me to the log in page that it gives, it adds a PHP Session ID to the link and then will work. That's annoying.

2. When I am doing a refresh of the POP accounts I check, normally it would only download the "NEW" emails received (although leaving the mail on the server so I can download it later), now, it downloads ALL the emails everytime I check for new mail. And everytime it refreshes. So if I have 40 emails, every refresh, it downloads the same 40 emails again and again....

These problems did not exist prior to the PHP and SQL upgrades. Anyone else experiencing these? Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks for your time.

I would try digging around at http://www.squirrelmail.org/

PHP4.3.1 and MySQL 4.0.12 are both stable. Any problems with scripts will be caused by developer error and poor coding standards or the fact the server runs an old version.

From your description it sounds like a problem with registerings sessions and unregistering sessions. This will be something Squirrel Mail needs to address.

Yes, this is an incompatability issue with php 4.3.1 and the version of squirrelmail that was installed on the servers ferrari, porsche, and mercedes. We will be upgrading squirrelmail shortly, don't worry.

Will it be possible to add the simple POP fetch mod? So through my main account, I can check my other accounts if I desire? Would be very nice addition.

Well, 1.4.0 is released now as the most stable (which I am sure you are aware Steven)....but thought I would let others know in case there weren't aware.......
