Re: [SM-USERS] Unknown user or password incorrect

Alan,
     I am not sure about the logs on OS X, but it sounds like you are not being
authenticated by your IMAP server. You can't login to squirrelmail if your IMAP
server will not authenticate your username and password. On Linux useful logging
info can be found in the /var/log/ directory. You can test your IMAP server's
functionality by telneting to the IMAP port (usually 143) of the IMAP server. If
you get connected you can try entering:

a001 LOGIN username password

If you can login to your IMAP server this way then there is a problem with the
way SM is setup. I would go back to conf.pl and check the settings. Another thing
to be aware of is that SM 1.2.4 does not fully support PHP 4.1 yet. The preferred
version of PHP is 4.0.6. Unexpected results can occur with PHP 4.1.
hope that helps
