[bruceho]

Everytime my clinet change to use japanese language,it cant show e-mail correctly......and shown

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_detect_encoding() in /var/www/html/squirrelmail-1.4.2/functions/mime.php on line 322"

What's going on and how can I solve it?

You need to rebuild php with multibyte string support. Add this line to your configure.php or configure.php_ap2 file:

--enable-mbstring

run the build, then restart apache.

I would also recommend that you upgrade squirrelmail to the latest version (1.4.4).
