disable third party plugins one by one and find plugin that caused this
error. Stock SquirrelMail plugins should not cause this php error message.

it looks like you mixed two squirrelmail versions.

Install squirrelmail 1.4.6cvs in other directory and try to reproduce your
problem without any third party plugins.
