Yes they probably will do... Though you might want to check some basic
options, see if your server supports server side sorting, if so,
enable it in your configuration for SquirrelMail (it's under the
'General' options if you run config/conf.pl).

redirect.php is where the authentication takes place. It is also the
place that sends the user to the main screen.

Tell them to be patient. It'd seem that they're clicking the login,
and not waiting long enough for the authentication, then hitting it
again, and again, and again. That might cause your IMAP server to have
a hissy fit as it gets multiple login attempts really quickly.

It might be the result of so many quick login attempts. If your IMAP
server has any kind of throttling enabled, it may only grant a certain
number of logins per second, and after a short time, it may just
refuse that login completely.
