This does not look like a squirrelmail problem. I suppose that changing
the password hasn't caused the problem but the reboot. For the minimal
information I have on your system I would check the following points:
- can you access the server from your network
- can you access it by the name/ip you used to (maybe you got another ip
from your dhcp server?)
- is apache service running (ps -ef|grep http)?
- is your mailservice running?
- can you access other websides on this server? (apache config maybe changed)

If you don't know how to do these checks.... find a local linux expert ;)

Roland.
