Here is the really short version of this quesion.
In my squirrelmail directory in the data directory I keep finding messages
in Maildir format. Does anyone know why?

What I am noticing is with squirrelmail 1.5.3 is if I am browsing
messages and I hit the forward button It sticks a message in the
data directory. This has been the only way I can get this problem to
duplicate.

For a start, time travel is a nifty thing, want to tell us how you do it? How does SM 1.5.3 look? ;)

Second, the "issue" you're seeing is probably caused by the fact that
you're probably attempting to forward an email as an attachment. What
happens is the mail gets copied from the IMAP server into a file on
the web server, then attached on the email.  When you send the mail,
they SHOULD be deleted.

And FYI, this should happen in your attachments directory, NOT your data directory. What this tells me is that you have the two set to the same location. I strongly recommend you change that and read on the SM site about how to place both of them OUTSIDE of your htdocs tree. Then you can set up a cron that removes orphaned stuff like this on a regular basis from your attachments directory. There is lots of info about this on the SM site and in the mailing list archives.
