SquirrelMail doesn't create any directories aside from the ones
contained in the installation itself.  It doesn't put anything in your
webroot or anywhere else unless you're using some third party
installer that does other things.

Maybe you should file a bug report against whatever entity it was that
provided the package that did that.
