To find out where, try: However, if the PHP function "posix_getuid" is not available, SquirelMail defaults to calling the user "httpd", even if it's not. It could be a wild goose chase. The OP has yet to respond to my suggestion to check the permissions on all directories leading up to the data/attach dirs.
