Please note that IIS is used by a much smaller portion of the squirrelmail community compared to Apache. I understand it does work, but you may very well be the first one two butt heads with new issues. I'd recommend setting up a seperate Apache box... > All seemed to go well with the install until we started to use SM.

Do you need a hashed directory structure? Hashed directories help performance when you have a very large user base (in the thousands at least). If you do not need hashed directories, edit config.php and change $dir_hash_level to 0. > In my config.php file the area that talks about the prefs and data > directory > is as follows > > $data_dir = "\prefs"; > > $attachment_dir = "\attach"; So you should have created a C:\prefs and C:\attach and given the IIS user full permissions to those folders. > I have read through some of the similar topic found on the web page and > have tried some of the solutions but none of them seemed to work in > this case.
