Paul, thanks!

with Dovecot, I've used (old)/etc/dovecot/* then remed out maybe 3 o4 
lines giving errors
with SquirrelMail created from null using conf.pl

ahhhh... server type... yes...

SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php
Config version 1.5.0; SquirrelMail version 1.5.2 [SVN]
Command >> dovecot
               imap_server_type = dovecot
          default_folder_prefix = <none>
                   trash_folder = Trash
                    sent_folder = Sent
                   draft_folder = Drafts
             show_prefix_option = false
           default_sub_of_inbox = false
show_contain_subfolders_option = false
             optional_delimiter = detect
                  delete_folder = false
       force_username_lowercase = true
