falko,

Thanks for trying to help but unfortonetly it gives the same error:

root@linux:~# chmod 731 /var/lib/squirrelmail/data
root@linux:~#

[danstinebaugh]

ditto. same thing here.

[falko]

What about

chmod 777 /var/lib/squirrelmail/data

?

[micko_escalade]

Still same thing.

[danstinebaugh]

also the same result, somehow still not writeable by www-data, chown'd the owner to www-data group www-data also still the same result, really got me on this one! world writable and it can't write? is it possibly jailkit or something?

[falko]

On my system the permissions are as follows:

server1:/var/lib/squirrelmail# ls -l
total 4
drwx-wx--- 2 root www-data 4096 Aug 11  2010 data
server1:/var/lib/squirrelmail#

Does /etc/squirrelmail/default_pref exist? What are the outputs of

ls -la /usr/share/squirrelmail/

and

ls -la /etc/squirrelmail/

?

Let me know if you need anything else.

On my system it looks the same, so I have no idea why it's not working for you...

Yea you got me as well. It works for the primary domain so I suppose that's good enough, just figured I'd let you know.

Thanks for all the help and for trying! Mabye I'll take it over to the squirrelmail guys. See if they can figure it out.

Again thanks Falko, your guides rock!
