[TriLUG] squirrelmail question

[David Rasch]

I'd check your IMAP setup first.  What IMAP server are you using?  Can
you access IMAP with a normal MUA (Thunderbird, Outlook Express, etc.)?  
Watch the appropriate log files /var/log/mail.log (log file is the
location in Debian, no idea about other distros, YDMV)
