Pierre, not sure whether you pointing to the Sheffield data centre problems explains the slowness of Squirrel mail.  In my case, having just logged on, whilst I can see the subject headings of the mail requiring my attention, when I click on them all I get is an IE error saying unable to display page - regardless which one I choose.  In this case, isn't squirrel mail simply reading and not actually doing any sending or receiving - or am I just being pedantic?  We've had these issues before.  Why are they being repeated?

thought it should be cured by now.  But the e-mails stay in Sheffield, they are not on your computor, the only get on your computor if you use a pop 3 like outlook
Just check, I am using Thunderbird and that is cattle trucked

Its getting worse!
I'm now getting these error messages
ERROR:
ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.


Can sombody please open the "lessons learnt log" from the last time this happened and then apply?

I'm also having this issue here in Derby, I have to copy every email I write in case I get the IMAP server error and need to repaste my replies into another email. Sometimes the email I've sent shows up in my Sent folder, sometimes not, which means sometimes I look as though I'm replying twice to an email, unless I check my Sent folder every time I get the error, but of course, sometimes I get the error when refreshing my Sent folder. It's wasting my time this end
