Just for clarification, SquirrelMail authenticates against your IMAP
server, it relies on your IMAP server to do the ALL the work.
SquirrelMail itself does not touch any of the files.

So sqwebmail fails too? Doesn't that clearly tell you it is NOT
SquirrelMail?  And it is the way you have your imap server setup?

Have you got your imap services setup correctly? Did you review the
configuration, and make sure it was pointing to the right
authentication mechanism?

The courier list probably a better place than this, seeing as this
appears to be a courier configuration issue. I dare say you'd have the
same login issue with Pine, mutt, kmail, outlook, etc etc etc.
