I don't see any change that might break things. Unless you made changes in
configuration and forgot to restart imap server.

Please don't make decisions about importance of the changes. Show all
changes, unless those changes include passwords or some other private
information.


Please enable SquirrelMail info plugin, go to SquirrelMail Options -> IMAP
Server Information and run two tests. Show results of 'LSUB "" "*"' and
'LIST "" "*"' commands. Commands are similar to TEST_7 and TEST_8. TEST_0
is
not needed. I think I've asked for results of these two tests and I
haven't got them.
