We now try again to use the squirrelmail package, 2:1.4.13-2.

We now get as far as finding that the Debian maintainers have indeed
prepared the correct directory structure.

$ dlocate -L squirrelmail|grep -v ^/usr
/var/lib/squirrelmail
/var/lib/squirrelmail/data ...

However they have not added that structure to the initial
configuration files shipped:

Error opening ../config/default_pref
Could not create initial preference file!
/var/local/squirrelmail/data/ should be writable by user www-data
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

1.  Data Directory              : /var/local/squirrelmail/data/
2.  Attachment Directory        : /var/local/squirrelmail/attach/

ERROR: You have enabled any one of magic_quotes_runtime,
magic_quotes_gpc or magic_quotes_sybase in your PHP configuration. We
recommend all those settings to be off. SquirrelMail may work with
them on, but when experiencing stray backslashes in your mail or other
strange behaviour, it may be advisable to turn them off.
Checking paths...

    ERROR: Data dir (/var/local/squirrelmail/data/) does not exist!

P.S., in the Debian documentation, mention trying
http://localhost/squirrelmail/src/configtest.php
