password with special characters

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hello,

my mail provider uses SquirrelMail Version 1.4.3a. I changed my password and the new password contains the special characters "\", "{" and "}". Unfortunately, I can not log in with the new password.
I searched and found out, that squirrelmail has problems with special characters, but is there an possibility, to log in with the new password? The problem is, that I can not reset the password by contacting the administrator etc.  
I thought about the character encoding (I use Mozilla Firefox 3.010 and Ubuntu 9.04) and tried some encodings (utf-8, iso-8859,...) and also other Browsers (Konqueror and the Microsoft internet explorer 6) but nothing worked.
Is there a chance, to use some "trick" to log in?

Thanks regards

Henrik Larsson

NEVER EVER MAIL YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE!

The phisher who requested your password is now removed from the list.

Sincerely,
Fredrik

Character encoding matters only if you use non-ascii symbols. And if you did that, you should be unable to login with standard IMAP LOGIN command used in SquirrelMail by default.

Test login process without SquirrelMail. Use telnet connection to IMAP or POP3 services.

To test, do this (IMAP):

telnet mailserver 143 (if unsecure; for secure login change 143)
A login $logname PW
01 select INBOX/mailbox name
02 fetch M# rfc822
03 logout
You can also try
03 list "" or "foldername"

FYI, here's the same for testing POP3:

telnet mailserver 110
USER yourloginname
PASS yourpw
QUIT

There are get and display type commands for POP3, too, but I can't think
of them off the top of my head.

have fun testing

Karl

That confirms that the issue is you server's authentication procedure and
not Squirrelmail.

You will now need some help from the server's administrator.

Good luck if you are the administrator. SU will be needed to change the
password, most likely.
