IE 11 won't let me log in at all, and in Firefox on my Ubuntu box, I'm able to log in, but when I try to open Imp, I see the Imp application screen, but I get an error message 'Handler for action "dynamicinit" does not exist.' at the bottom, with no messages displayed. Chrome works fine whether I use it from Ubuntu or Windows 8. Links: ------ [1]http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.incompatible.php [1]

I'm afraid that's not the issue. The configuration for our webmail
server is actually quite vanilla. I disabled the Proxy Apache module
(it's used by another site) just in case, but got nowhere with that. 

Here's the Apache configuration anyway:
