src.rpm is package used to build other packages.

you need squirrelmail-1.4.6-0.cvs20050812.1.fc4.noarch.rpm

Last php 4.4 fix was on 2005-08-11. This fix is important only for people
that use address book database backend. 2005-08-11 changes also fix html
formating issues in address book page. Last php 5.0.4 fix was on
2005-07-21. SquirrelMail developers don't support custom rpm builds based
on cvs versions.

If you work with OS packages (rpms, debs, what ever format is used by your
OS), Rule No.1 is "don't edit files that are part of the package".

Get tar.bz2/tar.gz/zip packages from SquirrelMail site and modify them.

Fedora Core4 uses Dovecot (http://www.dovecot.org) by default.

SquirrelMail should work with any IMAP4rev1
(http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc3501.txt) compatible IMAP server, that is
not broken. Some IMAP4rev1 servers are not suitable for SquirrelMail
because they fail to provide correct message structure information or have
broken unseen status responses.

SquirrelMail should work correctly with Cyrus-IMAP, Courier-IMAP, UW IMAP,
Exchange, Dovecot, Binc IMAP. EIMS, Mercury/32 and hmailserver IMAP
servers were tested too. Some servers might have issues with server side
sorting, but it is not enabled by default in SquirrelMail. Mercury/32
might have issues with non-ascii letters in IMAP folder names.

Known broken IMAP servers - Quick Mail Pro 3.5.2 (problems with utf-8
message headers and bodystructure), mailutils imapd (broken unseen status
and some other issues), apple imap server 10.2.something (broken
bodystructure)

IMAP servers that support SORT extension are recommended. Cyrus, Courier,
UW and Dovecot support it. IMAP servers that do not use standard unix
mailbox format are recommended for larger webmail systems. Courier and
Dovecot use Maildir format. UW can use mbx format, but not in default
install. I think Cyrus uses custom indexed mailbox format.

I suspect that SquirrelMail developers use Cyrus or Courier on their systems.

See package rule No.1.

Your changes will be lost in next package upgrade. SquirrelMail interface
is modular. Some parts of interface can be changed with plugins. Try
implementing your modifications with plugins. If plugins can't do what you
want - build own SquirrelMail packages or use installation that does not
conflict with packaging system.

If you use Fedora, be aware that packagers have enabled special security
extensions (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq/) and these
extensions can break some programs and php scripts.
