Hello LOEWENTHAL,

> Hi there everyone,

Please avoid using another posters post to start a new query. Threaded
mail clients make a mess of it, along with your mail being twice the
size it needed to be due to the TNEF attachments. Also please avoid
posting using HTML/RTF formats, and more specifically Microsoft's
proprietary TNEF format (aka winmail.dat). Not everybody uses outlook.

SquirrelMail is an imap client, it talks to the imap server. The only
directory SquirrelMail needs write permissions to is the preference
directory. If you don't feel comfortable granting that, you can use a
database to store the users preferences in. Apart from that, there
isn't much else to it. We try to make the code as secure as possible,
working with people that report problems to ensure they are resolved
(such as the recent XSS issues which were fixed in 1.4.3a). Apart from
that, you're going to have to be more specific about which security
concerns you have so we can address them directly.
