=== Problem ===

Fedora includes a modified version of the file {{config_local.php}} which breaks the installation for IMAP servers with a folder prefix such as Courier and UW IMAP.

=== Description ===

The file {{/etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php}} contains an override of the configuration setting {{$default_folder_prefix}}, i.e:

<code>
$default_folder_prefix  = '';
</code>

If the IMAP server you're using is configured to use a folder prefix, your !SquirrelMail installation needs to be configured accordingly. Since the {{config.php}} file created by {{conf.pl}} is overridden by {{config_local.php}}, any changes to the {{$default_folder_prefix}} in {{config.php}} won't be used.

This modification of {{/etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php}} is made by the package maintainer, so please direct any bug reports regarding this to the Fedora Project and not to the !SquirrelMail Project. Update this page with a link to any official Fedora bug report you might find or create.

=== Work-around ===

Edit out any overrides in {{/etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php}} that effects the local installation negatively.

=== Affected versions ===

The problem exists since at least Fedora 3 and still exists in Fedora 11 (which is the latest version when this is written).
