Hi,
I had this problem when I was storing my maildirs in an NFS mounted
directory.
Sam kindly helped me out by suggesting that my servers weren't time-sync'ed.
I installed NTP and removed the sqwebmail-curcache.gdbm file in my users
home directories (just to make sure) and all worked fine again.
If you're using NFS (you didn't say) this may be the answer for you too.
Hope this helps a little!
Mark.

Subject: the display is still not being updated
Although I have posted a similar thread many times, I have not had any
success with the answers. I shall be as specific as I can with the post
so that maybe someone will be able to help me.
Ok, the problem lies with the web-browser not display an updated
template to reflect what is actually in the Maildir on the server.
example: I login to sqwebmail and am presented with the Folders page
(Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc...) and this page will only sometimes update
the numbers showing how many messages are withing a folder, the same
happens with new mail notification.
Say I login to sqwebmail, and the inbox has no new messages and contains
no messages at all, I will then proceed to enter the Inbox by clicking
the link and am presented with many messages that I have deleted on a
previous session. I will click the on the message links to view them
but, depending on the browser, either nothing comes up, or im presented
with an error saying that there was no data to be retrieved. That is to
be expected, becuase I previously deleted those e-mails, and I have also
inspected the folders in my Maildir on the server and all messages have
been removed from there as well, which is also to be expected.
Even when I delete a message after I am done with reading it, it will
still show the message as NEW (with the N next to it), and not placing a
D(elete) next to it to signify that the file is to be moved to the Trash
folder (I have had sqwebmail running perfectly on other machines).
Nothing is being cached, we proved this by thoroughly searching the
cache for every item coming from the machine with sqwebmail on it. So,
it is NOT being cached by a proxy, and I have tried flushing/deleting
the cache in Netscape and IE.
What I NEED to know, due to sqwebmail being implemented in a corporate
environment where such problems aren't meant to exist, is why the
browser (regardless of the one i use(netscape on win32 and freebsd, ie
on win32, lynx on freebsd), the folders being shown to me have not been
updated correctly.
If anyone can provide an answer, or even some help, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thankyou in advance
Daniel
