I have not had this happen. It has never hung. I have folders with over
1000 messages, but probably not over 2000. This week...

The one-server thing aside, I like squirrel mail. For me it works as I
only have one IMAP server at work for my mail. The problem we have using
it company-wide is that we have more than one IMAP server. A fact of
life when the company is at more than one location. We have toyed with
the idea of a different port for each IMAP server. But why can't
squirrel mail just allow this as part of a user's config? After all, it
does not connect to the IMAP server before a log in. I guess that is one
for the squirrel mail developers. I am sure there is some good reason. I
think it could be the rather crude way it handles the various imap
servers. They cannot all be accessed the same way. IIRC, the imap code
in squirrel mail is not exactly structured good. Of course, I have not
looked at the code since I got it working for me. Maybe newer code is
better.
