direcotry, and add a link in your index.html like:

Change the owner of squirrelmail root dir to the www-data:

#chown -R www-data:www-data squirrelmail

To configure the squirrelmail for your current domain and debian system open the squirrelmail root dir /squirrelmail/config
and run the config.pl.

from the Server Settings change your Domain to example.net,
then for debian select the A. Update IMAP Settings select the 5. IMAP Port and change your imap
port to 993 which is the ssl port,
then select the 7. Secure IMAP (TLS) and change to True by selecting the y,
then select the 8. Server software and select the imap server uw.

In the "4. General Options" in the "1. Data Directory" and "2. Attachment Directory" give the relative path to data and atache dirs from the config dir like:

with the incorrect path you will get the error that data is not writtable.
Save the changes and exit.
The debian installer install the squirrelmail to the /usr/share/squirrelmail, to access this make changes to the
usr/share/squirrelmail/config/apache.conf for your web server and then copy to the /etc/apache2/conf.d and make a

#ln -s /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf
