The browser itself shouldn't affect the saving of the preferences, so it'd seem somewhere along the lines, the loading of the prefs file is failing, and setting the defaults. > The more people I hear from the more the problem is that 'ALL' user > settings in the pref files are missing and appear to be at the > default ex: my personal options are now blank. Would it be possible to send me a sample .pref file from 1.2.6, you can remove any names and such, and if you have POP3 fetch stuff in there, that can be snipped out too. > WHat should the permissions be on the data directory.

The data directory itself should be owned by the webserver user, and read/writeable by that user only. > Although the .pref permissions are the same as sm 1.2.6 I thought I > would change them to 660 and see if this helps.

After all, sometimes some slightly sensitive information can be put in it, such as encrypted passwords in relation to POP3 retrieval. > # ls -ald > drwxrwx--- 2 nobody nobody 3072 Dec 10 09:07 . > # This is correct (if apache runs as nobody). > # ls -la *sear* > -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 0 Nov 28 13:11 bsearle.2002.cal > -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 935 Dec 3 15:44 bsearle.abook > -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 0 Oct 24 10:01 bsearle.notes > -rw------- 1 nobody nobody 1043 Dec 10 09:06 bsearle.pref > -rwx------ 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec 10 08:42 bsearle.si1 > -rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 171 Dec 10 08:42 bsearle.sig Well, I can say you don't have a second signature, and your calendar, and notes files are both empty. Were they before? The default preference file with 1.2.11[cvs] (which will be the same going back to at least 1.2.7 and probably earlier) is 82bytes, so your files aren't being reset back, just not being read properly by the looks of it. >>> Does the other fact that I mentioned above about any other options >>> setting also not taking affect point to something else? >> Well, I was partially thinking a caching issue in your browser, or >> possibly on the server.

This would appear to be so, as I said, only if it couldn't read the prefs files. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
