SquirrelMail - Webmail for Nuts!

Unknown error: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4REV1

(Error message was trimmed)

If you get this error with UW IMAP 2000, you need to upgrade your SquirrelMail installation. This was fixed several versions ago (and there's some new security and features since your version).

It happened because we didn't properly parse the login string. UW 2000 was the first server that we have seen that added extra lines of information when logging in, even though it was in the RFC properly. It's all better now.

I have uw-IMAP on Red Hat 8 with PHP version 4.2.2 and SquirrelMail 1.4.1, when I turn on server-threading I intermittently get the following error in my message list for my INBOX (or any other folder where i've turned threading on);

ERROR : Bad or malformed request.

Query: FETCH (FLAGS UID RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (Date To Cc

>From Subject X-Priority Content-Type)])

Server responded: Bogus sequence in UID FETCH

Once I get this error it's there solidly until I edit my .conf file and turn threading off for that folder or globally turn it off at conf.pl. It's annoying because I have to be in a shell session and I don't have shell access from work, the reason I turned to SquirrelMail in the first place... and i'm left with unreadable INBOX until I get home.

I don't have a solution, other than to not turn threading on. It's annoying as I like threading view. I set up the IMAP server type as 'uw', I'm not sure if it's made any difference; also I've added extra memory to php.ini, again I will have to test to see what condition turns the mailbox threading bad.

There is a solution. Uprade to the latest SquirrelMail 1.4.2 CVS STABLE snapshot. This was fixed shortly after the release of 1.4.1

RE: ERROR : Bad or malformed request.

I had the same error as above with my current install of 1.4.2. Not sure what started it but I had to disable server side threading and server sort through conf.pl. Looks like Ill up to 1.4.3 now and check it out.

UPDATE:

It looks like there are two copies of the same mail.

One marked read (1095382455.M891602P68906V00020D0CI000CA6B7.mail.host.com,S=7953:2,S)

and one marked unread (1095382455.M891602P68906V00020D0CI000CA6B7.mail.host.com,S=7953:2,).

When both of these files are present in a Maildir UW/SquirrelMail dies and gives the FETCH error.
