RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pumpino 2010-04-27 23:39:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

No SquirrelMail package is available for RHEL 6.

How reproducible:

No package available in the repo.

Expected results:

SquirrelMail is perhaps the most popular web-based email software used by businesses and hosting companies. Why has it been removed from RHEL 6?

I attempted to install SquirrelMail 1.4.19 and 1.4.20 RPMs for Fedora 12, but these failed to install, reporting that it depended on package php-mbstring, but php-mbstring isn't available to install.

I attempted to install SquirrelMail 1.4.20 from the tarball but it did not function when I entered the appropriate path into Firefox.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-04-28 05:31:32 UTC 
This feature request did not get resolved in time for Feature Freeze
for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release and has now been
denied. You may re-open your request by requesting your support
representative to propose it for the next release.

Comment 9 Siddharth Nagar 2010-06-02 14:42:12 UTC 
After careful consideration, we have made the decision to not approve this request for including SquirrelMail in RHEL 6. In general, these decisions are based on insufficient business justification and lack of relevance to the larger RHEL platform community. We feel that it is most appropriate for this application to be part of EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux).
Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-02 14:47:43 UTC 
Product Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal this
decision by reopening this request.
Comment 11 Somasree Mal 2014-10-21 09:22:04 UTC 
In RHEL6.4, squirrelmail is running fine, I've used EPEL, rpmfusion free and non-free for EL6 in order to install squirrelmail and php-mbstring packages.
An error occurs "ERROR: Could not
complete request.
Query: SELECT "INBOX"
Reason Given: [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred" refer server log for more information,from maillog I found the error "imap(user): Error: chown(/home/user/mail/.imap/INBOX, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user), group based on /var/mail/user)"  and this is due to dovecot issue, for that I do the following steps:

1) I edit dovecot configuration file:

In /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, type

protocol imap {
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
}

2) # chmod 0600 /var/mail/$user after adding each user who need to access email over imap

or, 
a) in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
   uncomment the line mail_access_groups = mail

and
b) add user who need to access email over imap to mail group

So, I think this is not a bug.
