I'm the admin/root of the server.

I have got a problem with one email inbox. When I login it loads the menu on the left (inbox, sent, drafts etc. - squirrelmail). It loads everything except the inbox self (60 MB mailbox).

Anybody has got an idea?

Many thanks,

Steven
 
Hi,

I know this problem... sometimes you can even have a time out or memory allocation limit error if your mailbox is too large.

You can empty it but downloading the emails to your pc using Outlook.

You also use squirrelmail instead of Uebimiau. In this case, login to:

yourdomain/squirrelmail

and not

yourdmain/webmail

If squirrelmail don't work for you, login as root and type:

service xinetd start

Then try again. Squirrelmail needs xinetd running.

Hi, Squirrelmail / Uebimiau both don't work with this mailbox. I have downloaded my mailbox to thunderbird, but don't want to remove it from the server. Can't I change the time out time or something else.

Many thanks!!
 
try enable server thread sorting and server side sorting. see whether that helps.

as root, go to /var/ww/html/squirrelmail/config
type perl conf.pl
choose 4. general setting. enable both, save the changes and quit.

you may want to restart apache too
service httpd restart

How do I go to: /var/ww/html/squirrelmail/config
(guess I do not have to open it through vi)

Sorry for my stupid questions. I'm a beginner.

Many thanks!
 
Forget about going into that directory.

Just do this:

1. login as root through SSH
2. type this and press enter
perl /var/www/html/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl

you will then see the squirrelmail configuration menu.
 
Server thread and server side sorting is supposed to reduce loading time for large mailbox thus may prevent timeout and other issues. but unfortunately it doesnt help you.

you may want to contact squirrelmail support or search their FAQ and knowledge base. you may probably find an answer there.

good luck.
