I have:

1. A mail and imap server installed on one machine with SL 6.5.

2. A secure web server (https) running Squirrelmail on a different machine, 
originally with SL 5.9, and recently updated to SL 6.5.

Users use Squirrelmail on the secure webserver to access their email on the 
mail/imap server. 

Everything was fine until the update. I am using the same configuration for 
Squirrelmail I had before, but after the update Squirrelmail behaves very 
strangely - the most noticeable thing is that users are able to read their 
emails, but the programs hangs after sending email (the email gets sent but the 
browser remains frozen apparently waiting for a response from the secure 
server, the only solution is to close the browser and login to Squirrelmail 
again).  I am using Firefox ESR 24.7.0 in my tests, but the problem seems to be 
browser independent.

Nothing has changed on the mail/imap server, and users using other means to 
access their emails are unaffected, the problem seems to be confined to the 
version of Squirrelmail that got installed with SL 6.5.  Except for the SL 
version update everything is also the same on the secure server - firewall 
settings, certificates, etc.


My questions:

1. Any suggestions about solutions or where to look for a solution?

2. Any good alternatives to Squirrelmail? - Roundcube, Horde...?


Thank you in advance!
