so my web hosting company wants my login and password for my email, what should i do?

[blueindian]

here's the email thread about it...it's a little messy 'cause it did have images in it:

i don't think i like the idea of sending them this info.






Hello,

Please reply with the login and password for the e-mail accounts. This is the request of our server admin. He will get the problem fixed soon. Thanks for your cooperation.

Regards,
sHosts.com Support

My previous email showed a shot of squirrelmail below the neomail (see below) & with horde it just shows 0 messages.



I don’t want to be a pain, but I need this fixed ASAP. I am missing critical emails.



Thanks,



Richard

Hello,


Try seeing if it works with horde or squirrelmail. I'm going to let the server admin know. When we tried yesterday, it was working.

Sorry, still doesn’t work. Same thing with outlook, here’s the neomail error:

and the squirrel mail error:

horde mail just shows no messages, even though I’ve just sent a test.



Thanks,



Richard

Hello,



E-mail should be working. Your session expired that is why it wasn't working.

From webmail I get:



Your request didn't contain the proper session ID cookie -- access denied!



Using neomail



I get



ERROR

You must be logged in to access this page.

Go to the login page





Warning: write failed: Disk quota exceeded (122) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0



using squrile mail



using outlook via POP3 my messages just don’t come or go but I don’t get any errors.



Started about a week ago I think.

Bottom line: Don't give them your password.

[attgig]

if they're really the sysadmin...they can reset it and have to ask you for your password.

[Memo]

You can always change the password to somethign temporary, give it to them, and then change it back once they figure out the problem. That way you don't compromise your actual password if you use it for other purposes. I had to do the same for my webhost once.

i just replied to the email saying as much.
