Since the Horde web mail interface provided by TCH was blocked by my school, I've installed another web mail software for my web site.<br /><br />The software is V-Webmail (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.v-webmail.co.uk">http://www.v-webmail.co.uk</a><!-- m -->) recently gone open-source). I've tried squirrelmail, but I don't quite like the interface. V-Webmail also has some extra feature in functionality.<br /><br />For some reason, the software would work for some time, but upon returning to it another day, it would be down. Waiting out for a few more days and logging back again, it would work.<br /><br />The problem occurs at the login screen. When the software fails, I would get Internet Explorer's "Cannot Find Server or DNS Error" error message. Sometimes the screen merely refreshes. In both cases, the URL shown in the titlebar shows: "http://email.alphainitiative.com/htdocs/login.php?vwebmailsession=" (You'd realise the sessionID is missing from the URL, compared to when it was working).<br /><br />Could it be a session problem? Strangely, when I checked the error logs in CPanel, the log is empty.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<!--content-->
I'd be happy to try to install v-mail myself and see what happens - but chances are I cannopt get to it until Wed. Anyone else have time to look into it?<br />-kw<!--content-->
I may be able to play with it tonight. I'll let you know.<!--content-->

Darkwoof --- just noticed that as of today (April 24th), there is a new version of v-Mail available - version 1.5 - <br /><a href="http://www.v-webmail.co.uk/index.php?page=download" target="_blank">Click here</a><br /><br />-kw<!--content-->
Again? I've been updating V-Webmail to v1.5 for 4 times now in the past 2 weeks... The first version of 1.5 came out on the 14th or 17th of april if I remember correctly... the rest are minor changes and bugfix. None solved the login/authentication problem so far.<br /><br />I'll try to update with this one again though. Never hurts to try...<br /><br />By the way, I found this post in the support mailing list:<br /><br />-----<br /><br />To: "Gilles Levesque" <glevesque@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,<v-webmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> <br />Subject: [v-webmail] Re: RE : Can I use v-webmail to connect to remote email servers? <br />From: "David Collantes" <david@xxxxxxxxxxx> <br />Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 08:38:45 -0400 <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />> I Don't know for yahoo but witch pop or imap server will you supply to<br />> connect to Hotmail?<br />><br />> Can I use v-webmail to connect to remote email servers?

Great.... now it doesn't seem to work, AT ALL... Any PHP developer here who could look at the code and provide a fix?<!--content-->
