I am running FreeBSD 5.3 with the following packages:

 

cyrus-sasl-2.1.20_1 

cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.20_1 

cyrus-imapd-2.2.10  

php4-imap-4.3.10_1  

horde-3.0.2

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22

mysql-client-4.1.8a

mysql-server-4.1.8a 

pam_mysql-0.5       

php4-mysql-4.3.10_1 

 

I am able to telnet to localhost on port 143 and able to authenticate.  The
problem however occurs when I try to logon via the webmail

Interface. The following error is displayed:

 

Web browser:


A fatal error has occurred


Can't connect to IMAP server:


Too many login failures


Details have been logged for the administrator.


 

 

An everything log:

Any help will be greatly appreciated
