Thanks, I appreciate that.  I actually removed the .openwebmail 
directory entirely so that it would rebuild on login, as if it were the 
first time you used OpenWebmail on the account.

OK, I gave that a shot, but still got my "gdbm fatal: read error".

# /home/solarspeed/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl 
-i mfluitt
gdbm fatal: read error

So it looks like the gdbm is flawed somehow.

FWIW, I'm running gdbm-1.8.0-36.el6.x86_64.  I searched through the yum 
log and did not find any mention of that rpm being updated recently. 
That server's yum log goes back to Feb 09.
