Subject: block uw mailbox abuse in imap select command instead of applying same
X-Git-Url: https://vcs.fsf.org/?p=squirrelmail.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=3824e89aa69f6db72f7f7789ac3fa78318c362b9

block uw mailbox abuse in imap select command instead of applying same
code in all scripts that get $mailbox from GET or POST.

don't check imap_server_type, because interface can be used with different
type setting.

display error message instead of silently overriding $mailbox. (#1557078)
