"squirrelmail" is one of many programs (MUA, mail user agent) to access
mail on a server. It uses "imap" or "pop3". That means: if you use
another mail program you should be able to read and write e-mail as
before.
What MTA (mail transport agent) program runs on the server and
distributes mail to the user's postbox?
If you log in on the server as that special user and type
mail
you should see the number of mails waiting on the server (aborting:
"quit").
That's no way instead of "squirrelmail", but it shows if/that mail is
accessible.

May be - who owns that database?

You should see (with the "mail" command) if/that new mail has arrived.
Viele Gruesse!
