What do you mean by how secure is it?
is your requirement for the internet or the intranet.
My honest oppinion is that it is relatively insecure
given that clear text user id and passwords are
traveling thru your network connection
I have not attempted to use squirrel on ssl
but last i heard it was not supported.

Subject: Squirrel Mail - just how secure it is?


Hello group,

I would like to ask if anyone has some expirience working with or security 
auditing WebMail program, written in PHP, called SquirrelMail. As I can see 
in version 1.06 and 1.2.0rc2 it is using IMAP, which I consider as highly 
insecure protocol. Correct me please if I`m wrong. If it`s a bad choice for 
WebMail access, then what are alternatives?

Regards,
