What is SquirrelMail ?
Just like Roundcube, SquirrelMail is also an Open Source Web Based Email Client which is available absolutely for Free. SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation and much more.

I have an issue about send the email from squirrelmail with virtualmin (Ubuntu VPS server 16.04).
The issue is I can’t send an email but for receipt an email it’s work well.
Otherwise I try to install Roundcube before but it always go to ERROR HTTP 500 when I want to login.
Any suggestion ?
Please check if your server is allowing the UDP ports like 8000, 465, 25 etc to communicate with the network.
