I'm guessing that you entered "C:\Program
Files\hMailServer\squirrelmail\data" into the configuration utility
and it thought that was not a full path, so it added a prefix to it.
If you use forward slashes instead, it will not do this.  I have added
a fix for back slashes (but it's still recommended that you use
forward slashes).

Normal and should not harm anything.

You are using a version that has known security issues.

Not without something to go on.  Verify that the plugin is showing in
the configuration file and the plugin has been configured.  Then turn
up the error reporting settings in PHP and watch your logs or the
screen for any errors.
