I can say without a doubt, it's not SquirrelMail doing it.  It is
something in your PHP install or configuration in your PHP setup somewher=
e
that is causing the issue.  You should try creating a test file under the
SquirrelMail directory, call it testme.php, in the file, put the code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Save the file, and open in your browser, like:

 http://www.yourhost.tld/squirrelmail/testme.php

Verify all the settings for both global and local variables, make sure
they are correctly set on both columns.  If one shows up incorrectly,
verify with your php.ini file, and your apache configuration files.  If
they appear okay, and yet your install of SquirrelMail still reports an
issue with the session.save_handler being set to user, you may need to
reinstall your php again (remember to restart apache after any changes to
php or apache configuration files).
