Have you tried logging into your IMAP account with any other IMAP clients? I don't know how the installation of clamav could have touched your /<webdir>/sqirrelmail files, and thus how it could have messed its configuration up. I think more likely your IMAP service setup has changed.I installed a Woody system on my Intel box with an HTTP installation from debina.lcs.mit.edu. I wanted squirrelmail, so I installed apache-ssl, then squirrelmail, all via apt-get, and squirrelmail magically worked fine.
After a couple weeks of perfect operation, I opt to add virus scanning for email, choosing clamav, which is what a colleague at work is using for lab-wide mail filtering, and I saw it worked great against a ton of infected spam.
In the process of my following the clamav directions, I ended up mangling my squirrelmail installation to the point it would no longer let me authenticate. I tried several rounds of apt-get remove php4, squirrelmail, and apache-ssl, all to no avail. Google search reveal(ed/s) I may have had uw-imap installed, so I tried that. No luck. I tried cyrus. No luck.
I tried obtaining a fresh versio of squirrel from the squirrel site and almost got it working, but, upon logging in, it refused to see my mailboxes and said it was disconnected from the imap server.
I tried variants of uw-imapd and cyrus. No luck. I eventually pulled it and apt-got squirrel again, along with apache-ssl.
So now, I am at a state where SM's URL is seen, but hangs after I enter my username/password.
I also set up another Intel box at home the same as the first, with SM running fine. I've been doing back-to-back comparisons and haven't come up with anything helpful yet.
My question is how what are all the dependencies of a default Debian, out-of-box http install, for squirrelmail to work, and how do I modify my first machine with existing mail to allow SM to authenticate me again?
As an aside, I also have PINE w/SSL installed and it used to be able to write to my Inbox.Sent folder via an Fcc line. It can no longer do so, thus it at least appears the IMAP server is a problem, if not more.
I am able to send mail fine via elm and mailx, and receiving is also fine.
Please help.
You say you've tried UW and Cyrus imap. Which was there in the first place? What mail service are you using (postfix, sendmail, etc)? Try IMAP with some other software like mozilla mail and see if that works before trouble-shooting squirrel mail.
