This comes up on a routine basis here. I personally don't download attachments with sqwebmail, but my customers do. I recently started up a new service, and received the following complaint:
- I have been testing an account I set up on Friday, using
the SQ interface, by sending Excel and Word files to it from this
account, then downloading them at a different location. Each
download is truncated to 1kB in size when it appears on the local hard
drive, even though the SQ web mail interface reports the correct (e.g.
52k) file size after I have uploaded them.
- Why would this happen? I have tried "Save target as" but got the same result.
- However, the Squirrel interface works correctly, so this is the one I will use until you notify me the SQ interface is fixed.
- Why would this happen? I have tried "Save target as" but got the same result.
I have sqwebmail-3.4.1 installed. I have followed the install and added the appropriate
to the server configs (apache 1.3.27). all other functions on the webserver operate normally. The other installed webmail interfaces - squirrelmail, imp, and twig - all function normally WRT downloading attachments. Data storage is on local disk, no NFS involved. Solaris 2.9 on an Ultra 1. No errors during compilation or installation, and the program works fine in all other respects.
I've created a test account on the server:
email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password: testingtesting
the URL for sqwebmail access is http://sqwebmail.smileglobal.com
I have mailed two messages to that account, one with an attachment, one with an embedded image. Give it a try if interested. I'll delete the account in a day or two.
I'm baffled. I haven't tested this with other browsers, since that's not the issue as i see it - most people use MSIE, like it or not. I'm testing with MSIE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920, the most recent version available. I have tried going into the 'advanced settings' and unchecking "Use http1.1". nothing.
Can someone provide an explanation for this? Have I missed something? can it be fixed?
