    Did you check the permissions for the /tmp ? It might not be set correctly or have gone Read-Only.
    Also , check whether there is enough free space available in that.

    /tmp should be something like:

    drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 11264 Apr 24 10:30 /tmp/

    You can do the following if it's not:
    chmod 1777 /tmp
    If it's read-only, then you'll need to delete the tmpDSK and recreate it.
    Test that with:
    Code:
    cd /tmp
    touch file
    However, the "connection dropped by IMAP server" error in Squirrelmail is frequently resolved with:
    yum install gamin
