If you untarred it, you only get what is in the tarball in the location
you untarred it.  The tarball should have given you a data directory
under the "squirrelmail-1.4.1" directory, but as the docs say (check the
web site), you are advised to move that elsewhere (and create a separate
attachments directory) on your own.  Also, 1.4.2 was just released, so
you should go for that while you're at it.
