SquirrelMail stores all configuration in config/config.php file. Copy it.

User preferences and address books are stored in:
a) data directory
b) database
c) database and data directory
d) even when you store pref and address books in database, some plugins
store user data in data directory

Due to modular structure of interface, you might have different plugins
installed in plugins/ directory. Copy plugins that are not included in
squirrelmail base package.

Some plugins depend on different squirrelmail versions. Check them.
Some plugins might use external programs.
Some plugins hardcode path to squirrelmail config into used external
programs.

Emails are not stored in squirrelmail, they are stored in IMAP server.
Location of this data depends on your email setup.

If you did some custom modifications to squirrelmail - compare your
install with vanilla squirrelmail install.

SquirrelMail packages include document called UPGRADE. Take a look at it.
