This is an issue with your IMAP server, and not SquirrelMail. The issue is that your IMAP server, presumable UW-IMAP defaults the mail directory to your $HOME. When selecting your folders page, it searches your $HOME directory to find any possible mail folders. If you have a lot of files in your directory, or symlinks to other locations, this will cause both Apache, and UW-IMAP to run wild with your CPU. There are two ways of resolving this. The first is a simple configuration change in SquirrelMail. Run config/conf.pl, select D and choose "uw". Under each users' home directory, create a mail folder. The other option is to recompile uw-imap.
