It doesn't say hou have to, but it says you can :)

sqwebmail/SECURITY :
  When  virtual  mailboxes  are  being  used,  it is possible to install
   SqWebMail setuided to the virtual userid, instead of root. For that to
   work, each account's Maildir must be created with the account password
   already  saved  in Maildir/sqwebmail-webpass file, or a virtual domain
   mechanism like vchkpw must be used.

   On  some platforms this may not work without some additional tweaking.
   If  authenticating  with  sqwebmail  setuided  to  the  virtual userid
   doesn't work:
     * Verify that the password has been correctly set.
     * Remove  the source file authlib/changeuidgid.c. Replace everything
       in  that  file  with the following three lines of code, exactly as
       shown:
void authchangegroup() {}
void authchangeuidgid() {}
void authchangeusername() {}

     * Recompile and reinstall.

Tried that, but then it won't compile (and the .c has changed directory)
