1. http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/FedoraSELinux
Fix your SELinux policies. "ERROR:* Error connecting to SMTP server
"some-address".Server
error: (13) Permission denied" usually means SELinux issues on Fedora,
RedHat and CentOS.

2. Enable Mercury/32 IMAP module and make sure that you are running latest
Mercury version. 4.01 has issues with international folder names.

3. In SquirrelMail configuration set IMAP server address to your Mercury/32
server address.

CourierIMAP can't read Mercury/32 mailboxes.
