Thanks guys for the suggestions. I'm at a loss on what to do, though...
I've installed a brand new CentOS 6.5 in a VM, apache + PHP, got the
latest 1.4.23-svn from the site, installed it and it is behaving the
same way. It's a different URL, it's a different machine, I've also
tried with Chrome browser, it's doing the same thing. I log in, and
everywhere I click I get thrown out to the error "you must be logged in
bla bla..."

[root@m1test squirrelmail]# php -v
PHP 5.4.25 (cli) (built: Feb  7 2014 09:45:42)
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

This is from IUS repo.

I've installed squirrelmail in /var/www/html/squirrelmail, with basic
config, and remote dovecot IMAP (so I can log in), that part is working,
I'm seeing my INBOX, just cannot click on anything.
In php.ini I didn't tweak anything (only set the timezone).

I did see some strange things in the cookies, see attached screenshots
with every cookie. Why are there so many cookies, and why are they with
expiration date 1970 (the ones with /src/ in the path) ? I've looked at
the cookies for 1.4.22, and I have ONE with SQSESSID, and it doesn't
mention /src/ anywhere.
