Maybe I didn't made myself clear. I agree that it is obvious that I got to
enter the correct password to login.
My problem is that squirrelmail (and one apache instance also) is hanging
when I enter a wrong password. This shouldn't happen for sure.

Netscape Messenger and OutLook are dealing better with this problem. If I
enter the wrong password on Netscape, it tells me that the server has
disconnected, it doesn't hangs but it doesn't tell me I entered a wrong
password either.
>Can u post some more info like....error messages ,logs etc.
I tried a telnet session.
When I entered:
a001 LOGIN "rodrigo%fabricadeideias.com" "correctpassword"
the server answered:
a001 OK LOGIN Ok.
When I entered:
a001 LOGIN "rodrigo%fabricadeideias.com" "wrongpassword"
the server closed the connection without any answer.
Any ideas?
