I have installed with success hmail server with squirrelmail but I have a problem after login, in my web browser I have:
http://myaddress/squirrelmail
then I insert user (account@mydomain.com) and password but I have this error:

Preference database error (no such table). Exiting abnormally

in hmailserver log file I have:

"IMAPD" 1888 16 "2010-06-23 17:43:25.275" "127.0.0.1" "SENT: * OK IMAPrev1"

where I can investigate for this problem ? in mysql configuration ? or in another file config ?
With another mail reader (ie Outlook) I haven't problem with IMAP.
Thanks.

That looks like a squirrelmail issue & not hmail.. Did you set it up correctly with access to a SQL database? If you google Preference database error (no such table). Exiting abnormally you'll find much info about that error..

Read SquirrelMail documentation, conf.pl comments about DSNs and PHP PEAR DB docs and make sure that you setup database correctly.

Hi, the problem is in db configuration because there is a bug on MySQL about:
prefaval blob DEFAULT '' NOT NULL

this parameter (in table userprefs) cann't be DEFAULT.

As Bill and Dzekas say, this is not a hMailserver issue.

Please contact Squirrelmail support for assistance with their product...
