Well, I don't have that problem at all, and I'm using Windows XP SP1, and IE 6.02.

My cookies work fine... so I can't imagine what's the problem...

It's the darndest thing. I'd re-read this entire thread looking for any hint of this phenomenon. I'd initially blown off my solo experience as coincidence (trying to avoid the post hoc ergo...trap); but when the only other person who used it wrote to me of an identical problem...well, I did some ballpark odds-figuring.

The hack does work, by the way :)

Now if I can only figure out the cache problem.

Are you using the latest version? We fixed a cookie problem in version 1.4.

It would seem that certain servers have trouble with this hack for whatever reason... when I find time I will look into it a bit more... :)

Yes, I downloaded version 1.4 (three days ago, I think). I compiled IMAP with php, and the hack seemed to work just fine.
I don't get the same problem when using Opera, for example (and neither does the other user)--just IE6.

Stranger still, even with the hack deleted, the cache problem persists. It's because of the entirety of the series of events that I believe that the cache issue ties in with the email hack. Super-coincidences? Could be, I suppose; but the sequence of things suggests otherwise.

Thanks for taking the time to read, Erwin :)

Well, I had this working since the day it was released. I haven't used it for a week or so, and when I tried to use it today, I get this error message: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home2/jbear6/public_html/email.php on line 618".

I also uploaded the newest version, with the same results. Is this the error message you receive if imap is not compiled on the server (even though it was there last week)?

Thanks for any help

If you're on a shared server, it looks like they updated PHp without IMAP support.

Jim is right. Your PHP no longer has IMAP compiled. Talk to your host to put it back in.

Thanks guys, yes it is on a shared server, and they have been trying many possible fixes for the "new" MySQL problem . I guess they upgraded PHP also.

Thanks again,

Hi Erwin - great hack as usual :D

I do have a couple of questions/concerns though - one *potentially* very serious - I'd appreciate you giving it some thought.

The serious problem is to do with "Who's Online" locations ... when I first log into a POP3 mailbox, Who's Online shows me as "unknown location - email.php" .. and a long session ID string. And this link is clickable! If someone were to click that link, would they get into my mailbox?

I know there is a "how to" somewhere in here about adding new locations to the "who's online" list ... maybe if my worries are correct you need to add a new "location" for "reading mail" ? Can you explain in simpler terms than the "how to", how to do this?

The second problem I'm noticing is that when I actually view a message, i seem to get everything twice - right down from my forum header to footer immediately after the message (i.e. header, mail body, forum footer, header, message and footer again)

Also if the email has stationary (html backgrounds) this stationary seems to be used in my forum header too! A bug in the html mail viewer maybe?

Great work though - sorry if any of these have been mentioned before - I've tried to read through the entire thread again but can't find anyof them mentioned.
