I just wanted to add that I am also interested in using SunBird for calendar sharing for my company. We have an internal server that we can route through, but I'd prefer to make the calendar accessible at home or work.

This is what Cron mails to me after it runs saspam.sh: Is this normal?

Permissions need to be set to 777 if Squirrelmail data is moved below your public html folder, or you must set permissions to 770/730 and put in a help desk ticket as described above. 770 will only work if the tmp & data folder are located in your public html folder. At least, that's my take on it. What I want to know is how do you write your cron command once you have your spam & ham scripts set up? Your tutorial is a little incomplete with out this.

1. It's newer. Squirrelmail is currently up to version 1.4.3a. Using Cpanel's install of Squirrelmail, you have no choice but to wait until they get around to updating their install. 2. Pluggins. 3. Customizability. I want to add custom login/out screens, theme, etc. to match my company's website.

Nice tutorial, Dennis! Thank you!

I wouldn't delete "inbox", just INBOX.Sent, INBOX.Trash, INBOX.Drafts. At least that's what I'm debating. The thing is, Squirrelmail is working fine. Not sure I should mess with it anymore.

Actually, "/home/tchuserid/mail/" is exactly how I had it set up, and it gave me errors. Perhaps, as you said, it had to do with the fact that INBOX.Sent, etc. already existed. However, having removed the path and left it as "" I can now access Squirrelmail and my mail appears to be there. Checking my files, it doesn't look like INBOX.sent was recreated in another location, but I could be wrong. You know, now that I think about it, I wonder if Cpanel Squirrelmail created those files in /home/tchuserid/mail/? Are they used by popmail at all? Or are they a webmail thing? Maybe I could delete them and then my new Squirrelmail install can re-create them? Is there any security risk to having 777'd my data and attachments folders if they are sitting in my home folder?

I don't know why, but when I blanked out $default_folder_prefix like you had on your list, everything worked. Squirrelmail is up and running! Now, is there a way to get rid of www.name.com/webmail with horde/neomail/etc? I tried a redirect but that didn't work.

Argh! Two steps forward, one step back... Discovered that you just need to set permissions on the data & attachment folders to 777. However, now I enter Squirrelmail and get this: Sigh.

I can't seem to make chown work. How did you do it?

Okay, I fixed that error but now I've got another one: EDIT: Just saw your post, dlevens, apparently you can run chown after all? I'll give it another try.

This is the error I'm getting:

Well, in my own defense, I wasn't trying to make this more difficult than it needs to be. I was trying to follow the instructions in the config file. Also, I think there is some usefulness in getting this info posted, for reference for others who attempt the same thing. Thank you for your help! I'm still getting an error, which might just be that I need to wait a few minutes for Squirrelmail to reset itself. In any case, here's my current config file: $domain = 'companyname.com'; $useSendmail = true; $smtpServerAddress = 'localhost'; $smtpPort = 25; $sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $imapServerAddress = 'localhost'; $imapPort = 143; $imap_server_type = 'uw'; $use_imap_tls = true; $use_smtp_tls = true; $smtp_auth_mech = 'login'; $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; $optional_delimiter = 'detect'; $pop_before_smtp = false; $default_folder_prefix = '/home/accountname/mail'; $show_prefix_option = false; $default_move_to_trash = true; $default_move_to_sent = true; $default_save_as_draft = true; $trash_folder = 'INBOX.Trash'; $sent_folder = 'INBOX.Sent'; $draft_folder = 'INBOX.Drafts'; $auto_expunge = true; $delete_folder = false; $use_special_folder_color = true; $auto_create_special = true; $list_special_folders_first = false; $default_sub_of_inbox = false; $show_contain_subfolders_option = false; $default_unseen_notify = 2; $default_unseen_type = 1; $noselect_fix_enable = false; $default_charset = 'iso-8859-1'; $data_dir = '/home/accountname/foldername/data'; $attachment_dir = '/home/accountname/foldername/squirrelattachments'; $dir_hash_level = 0; $default_left_size = '150'; $force_username_lowercase = true; $default_use_priority = true; $hide_sm_attributions = true; $default_use_mdn = true; $edit_identity = false; $edit_name = true; $allow_thread_sort = false; $allow_server_sort = false; $allow_charset_search = true; $uid_support = true; $session_name = 'SQMSESSID'; Permissions on "/home/accountname/foldername/squirrelattachments" has been set to 730. I also plan to set up a cron job to delete contents of that folder periodically. (Like items that are more than 2 weeks old.) Is $default_folder_prefix correct now? Or should I have left it as "mail/"?

I'm doing the same thing right now. I'm trying to configure Squirrelmail on my company's account and it keeps barfing on me on the IMAP address. In your example, you have IMAP as 'localhost' -- is that correct or should it be 'mail.companyname.com'? Here are all my settings: $useSendmail = true; $smtpServerAddress = 'mail.companyname.com'; $smtpPort = 25; $sendmail_path = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $imapServerAddress = 'mail.companyname.com'; $imapPort = 143; $imap_server_type = 'courier'; $use_imap_tls = true; $use_smtp_tls = true; $smtp_auth_mech = 'login'; $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; $optional_delimiter = 'detect'; $pop_before_smtp = false; $default_folder_prefix = '/mail/'; $show_prefix_option = false; $default_move_to_trash = true; $default_move_to_sent = true; $default_save_as_draft = true; $trash_folder = '/mail/INBOX.Trash'; $sent_folder = '/mail/INBOX.Sent'; $draft_folder = '/mail/INBOX.Drafts'; $auto_expunge = true; $delete_folder = false; $use_special_folder_color = true; $auto_create_special = true; $list_special_folders_first = false; $default_sub_of_inbox = false; $show_contain_subfolders_option = false; $default_unseen_notify = 2; $default_unseen_type = 1; $noselect_fix_enable = false; $default_charset = 'iso-8859-1'; $data_dir = '/foldername/data/'; $attachment_dir = '/foldername/squirrelattachments/'; $dir_hash_level = 0; $default_left_size = '150'; $force_username_lowercase = true; $default_use_priority = true; $hide_sm_attributions = true; $default_use_mdn = true; $edit_identity = false; $edit_name = true; $allow_thread_sort = false; $allow_server_sort = false; $allow_charset_search = true; $uid_support = true; $session_name = 'SQMSESSID'; Then comes themes, etc. which I don't think are relevent, so I'll spare you the listing. Obvious questions: 1. Are the paths for $trash_folder $draft_folder $sent_folder correct? It said to list the full path name, so I did. But should it just be "INBOX.Trash" and not "/mail/INBOX.Trash"? 2. Are the paths for $data_dir and $attachment_dir correct, assuming that "foldername" is stored in the root directory? 3. Do I have the IMAP addresses correct? Anything else look odd?
