Forgot to tell you I'm accessing a POP3 account, webserver (NOCC) and mailserver (xmail) are on the same physical box.

Does your nocc-prefs path has a user@domain.session file (with some base64 encoded content) ? It's seems like the session is lost somewhere.

Do you have set "master_key" setting into conf.php file ?

Yes the file does exist, but it's not encoded in any way (see below). The master_key is also set.

I talked about the user@domain.session file, not the user@domain.prefs one ;)

Oh, sorry .... :-)

No, no such file is created ....

Sorry, I forgot the .session file was only created and used when you check "remember settings" checkbox at the login page.

You could try this :
1 - open your message
2 - modify common.php file, and uncomment line " //var_dump($_SESSION); "
3 - delete your message

The content of your session settings will be displayed. You could check if something seems to be missing : server settings, missing password or login, etc.

And about the error message "could not connect to server" :
- is it a nocc error message (and is it complete ?)
- is it a browser error message ?

Looked OK to me:

OK, I think I've located the problem.

Seems NOCC is doing something weird with my password (which contains several
non-char signs; =, ) and (.
I changed my password to a plain a-z character string, and the deleting started
to work just fine again.

My password haven't changed between v1.2 and v1.3, so this is something that
is related to the NOCC release.

Hope this helps you to solve/find the problem ....

I have just submitted a patch to the CVS repository. Couls you please try if it changes something ? (wait for crypt.php file version 1.2).

I have made some changes to crypt.php file. Could you please try with this next version (1.3 ?)

Sorry for not getting back to you.

Tried the 07-01-20 CVS and it worked just fins with both "plain" passwords and one that contain some non-alphabet characters.

Fixed in CVS.

It'll be included in next release.

But you can download daily snapshots at :

Thanks for the bug report.
