The problem is in connecting to the mysql (I assume) backend database you
have selected for your preferences / addresses, option 9 in conf.pl

SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php (1.4.0)
---------------------------------------------------------
Database
1.  DSN for Address Book   : mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dbname
2.  Table for Address Book : address

3.  DSN for Preferences    : mysql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dbname
4.  Table for Preferences  : userprefs
5.  Field for username     : user
6.  Field for prefs key    : prefkey
7.  Field for prefs value  : prefval


Clear these values to use a file backend....
