Yeah, there we got the problem - good catch!

The files /etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf and 
/etc/admserv/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf ought to be identical and your 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf is missing a couple of lines.

It should read like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP.
#

Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail/>
php_admin_value safe_mode off
php_admin_value open_basedir 
/home/:/tmp/:/var/lib/php/session/:/usr/share/squirrelmail/:/etc/squirrelmail/:/var/spool/squirrelmail/:/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/>
php_admin_value safe_mode off
php_admin_value open_basedir 
/home/:/tmp/:/var/lib/php/session/:/usr/share/squirrelmail/:/etc/squirrelmail/:/var/spool/squirrelmail/:/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs/
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There indeed was a Squirrelmail update (14th January) which may have caused 
that your /etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf got rolled back to a default 
one. 

I'll sort this out with an update that I'm going to publish in a few moments.
