Directory must be writable by web server.
If you are not using PHP safe_mode, it should be owned by www-data, group =
www-data, permissions = 0750. If you are using PHP safe_mode, directory
should be owned by same user that owns other SquirrelMail scripts, group =
www-data, permissions 0770
mkdir /var/local/squirrelmail/data
chown www-data:www-data /var/local/squirrelmail/data
chmod 0750 /var/local/squirrelmail/data
same thing applies to attachment directory.
