i am new in this thread..i like to know all of yours..
i am really need help to use chekbox with retrieved data from database..i dont know how...like inbox in our mail..

nothing is clear from your post, at least post your html here, explain exactly what you trying to achieve.
I guess, you trying to set or unset the checkbox in your html with some data fetched from the db.If that's the case, some like below code will help you to do that-

<input type="checkbox" name="chk" id="chk" <? echo $row['columnName'] ==1?'checked':''; ?>  />

where $row comes from your db.
post further if you need any more help with this

<?php
    require_once('auth.php');
?>

<?php 
$host="localhost"; // Host name 
$username="root"; // Mysql username 
$password=""; // Mysql password 
$db_name="complaint"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="list"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select databse. 
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); 

$login = $_SESSION['SESS_FIRST_NAME'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT ID, title, date, FROM $tbl_name WHERE login='$login'");

// Count table rows 
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);

still not much is clear from this english, i guess you want to set the next page as complaint.php which will show different containts for each link you click, and will show the details for that particular id.
If that's the case, just pass the id also to this link's href like -

<a href="complaint.php?id=<? echo $rows['ID']; ?>">

later on in complaint.php you can get this id as $_GET and use it to fetch the data from the database.
I will comment on few more unnecessary things form your code, below -
<form name="form1" method="post" action="<? echo $_SERVER; ?>"> writing $_SERVER in the action will take the page that, but it will contain the url of the same page, so its not needed really it's fine to have action=''
