#2)
$data_dir is set to "../../../sqmdata/" -- i had to change that myself because of the conf.pl thing with resolving the path name.

I have been using SM for a number of years now and I'm pretty sure (but no one is perfect) I have everything configured the way it should be. I have installed it on both linux and windows machines so I'm pretty knowledgeable on it.

#3 & #4)
there is an option in the setup for the date thing but it didn't effect problem #3. no clues about #4?

Subject: [SM-USERS] Re: bugs bugs bugs - 1.4.0 rc2a
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 03:08:26 -0500

my setup: iis 5, win2k, php4 w/isapi module, exchange server

#2) any plugin i add with an option page doesn't work. i added newmail, and when you click on it i got a invalid logo image (not caused be above problem) with:

---[snip]
ERROR
Error opening ../../data/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
../../../sqmdata/ should be writable by user httpd
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.
---[/snip]

... "../../data/" isn't even the correct data path, "../../../sqmdata/" is however. i looked through the plugin options and couldn't find anything that stood out. "../../../sqmdata/" is writable, as users can change preferences, login, logout, etc.
I would guess that this is a setup problem, though it could also be related to the above (as the same directory mod magic is at work here..). Please tell me what config.php has defined for $data_dir, and whether or not you hand edited it (if so, what did running conf.pl put there that you changed.. )

#3) when i view my sent items with this version, emails that are dated back from October, 2001 were showing up as if they were just sent today. (sorted by date)

#4) not related to 1.4.0 rc2a specificly (did this to me in 1.2.8 as well), but when i was trying to access my deleted items i would get a timeout error. i reduced the amount of messages in the mailbox from 2800+ to about 2000 and now it works. it works, but should there really be a limit on the number of messages you can have in a folder? maybe some way to speed up the search routine?
At the moment, I'm not sure what to say about these. I think there are optionst to toggle for number 3 (though I can't remember off the top of my head).
