Roxanne, It sounds like you don't have mysql set to accept connections from localhost. Can you access via pop3 or pop3-ssl? Is this really only an imap (and thus squirrelmail) issue?
#Test with this: mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p #If you can't access it, try running sql in safe mode (from there you can modify permissions for localhost if needed): safe_mysqld --skip-grant-tables & #check status of mysql: mysqladmin -u root -p status I reset the sql permissions on my system to allow only localhost in... no fqdn allowed (localhost is the default usually if you don't use the -h option).

Thank you, George, for including that information. Unfortunately, it seems that my system is not having any problems - or not reporting any problems - finding any of those libraries. Does anyone have any further ideas or suggestions as to what I can do to try to correct this problem? To restate the problem for clarity: I have a Fedora Core 5 box, with MySQL 5.0.22, Apache 2.2, PHP5 installed. To this, I have added the latest qmail-toaster installation. I am using BIND rather than the little caching DNS server. I can access all of the administrative functions of Qmail and Qmail Toaster. But I cannot log in as any user to view their e-mail through Squirrelmail, or through IMAP, or IMAP-SSL. I know I have the username and password correct, as I can still log in to the Qmail administration screen as these users and view their specific, individual settings.

I have tried adding new users, and get the same behaviors as with original users. Is it time to back up the mailboxes and wipe the machine, rebuild from scratch? I need an answer, as I have a deadline approaching by which I must move our mail services from an off-site mail server that is running currently to an on-site mail server - the one I have been trying to build and get running.
