*Reading* the files from that directory apparently works, only writing
(the temp file) does not, which it should, with permissions 0777. This
does not sound like a permission issue of one of the parent directories
to me. (I could be wrong, of course.) I can imagine a few other reasons
for this behaviour:
* disk full,
* hard quota limit reached,
* file system mounted read-only.
These are relatively rare conditions, but you might want to check them
anyway, if only to exclude them.
Can you create and write other files on the same file system as the
Apache user? Can you create and write files in the preferences directory
interactively when logged in as the Apache user? (Like "cp /etc/group
tempfile")
The exact error message including the specific nature of the error
(unfortunately not present in the SquirrelMail message) could be helpful.
After that issue is cleared, do me the favour and change the directory
permissions from 0777 to something sensible again. :-/
