Chances are /usr/local contains the source, /etc contains the config files (some distros separate config out of the source - plain squirrelmail has config inside the source), and /var/local might have the user data/preferences(?) > # ls /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/[code] www? this is an offbeat installation location > AUTHORS configure doc include plugins src > ChangeLog contrib functions index.php po themes > class COPYING help INSTALL README UPGRADE > config data images locale ReleaseNotes > > I suppose to backup "/usr/local/squirrelmail/www/" here.

I can backup /home > directory. As I mentioned, SM has *nothing* to do with user mail directories. Changing an IMAP client has zero effect on the mail stored in the IMAP server. SM preferences are unrelated and are found in the SM data directory, which you can find by looking at the value for $data_dir in the main SM config.php file. > Advice would be appreciated.
