Start from default SquirrelMail setup with bundled plugins.

administrator - not required as admin can use cli. you configure
SquirrelMail until you get setup that you want. After that you don't have to
reconfigure it.
bug_report - not required
calendar - enable if you want basic personal webmail-only calendar 
delete_move_next - must have
demo - not required. This dev plugin was designed not to be bundled with
squirrelmail
filters - optional. Has limits and can be useful only if you don't have
server side filtering solution,  know plugin's limits and how not to hit
them
forture - not required. Fun to have, if you know what kind of dinosaur
/usr/games/fortune is
info - not required
listcommands - must, if you use mailing lists
mail_fetch - optional.
message_details - must have
newmail - good to have
sent_subfolders - good to have, if you need automatic sent email sorting,
your server is not UW IMAP and your folders can store both other folders and
emails at the same time
spamcop - enable only if you know what spamcop is and you have spamcop
account or your users have one.
squirrelspell - good to have, if your browser does not have integrated spell
check and webserver can execute ispell or aspell
test - not required. it is dev-only plugin and it is totally useless for
regular users
translate - optional

If your mailbox has quotas, you will need some quota plugin.

If you need more functions, check
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugins_category.php?category_id=all and search
for features that you want. Don't overload webmail with "wow, purple monkey"
features.

This webmail is modular. Plugins allow to adapt it to your user needs. I am
not your user and I can't tell you which plugins are required for your user
base.

Use webmail. Try to adapt webmail user preferences according to your needs.
Decide if you have to push those preference change to your users to improve
webmail usability.
