Strange Squirrelmail Issue

[bassjuh]

Hi all,

since a few days i have this strange issue with squirrelmail, i normaly use the /webmail url but i decided to give squirrelmail a spin on our servers.

It works perfectly but as soon as i want to send a message i get the following error:

ERROR: Bad or malformed request.
Server responded: Missing literal in APPEND

However the mail is being send and successfully received by the user the mail is sended to. The email including the headers just seem normal.

When i want to send something through imap with thunderbird or outlook it goes ok without any error.

I tried re-installing imap from imap.sh and squirrelmail from squirrelmail.sh but i am totally clueless as i can't find the solution on google or whatsoever...

anyone has an idea? ( there is no error being logged in /var/log/messages or /var/log/maillog )

Here is the part for squirrelmail that configures imap :

Server Settings

General
-------
1. Domain : substr($domain, strpos($domain, '.') + 1)
2. Invert Time : false
3. Sendmail or SMTP : SMTP

IMAP Settings
--------------
4. IMAP Server : localhost
5. IMAP Port : 143
6. Authentication type : login
7. Secure IMAP (TLS) : false
8. Server software : other
9. Delimiter : detect

B. Update SMTP Settings : localhost:25

it was an error caused from squirrelmail 1.4.5 in combination with PHP 5.1.1
