Re: [SM-USERS] Squirrelmail: The server couldn't find the messageyou requested.

[xiaojie <xi...@le...>]

I have posted this problem in Courier IMAP mailing list and they said this is related to SM, :)

Anyway, i just found a way to resolve this issue. I disabled the uid support in SquirrelMail config file. Those mails can be read now.

But i still don't know what's the reason, and i don't think this is the best way to resolve it. 

Hope anyone can help.
