That is not "clear" at all.  An example of "OPENWEBMAIL" means little
except that Open WebMail appears to have a file management module as
well.

Whether or not the web server serves pages from your users' home
directories is entirely unrelated to your webmail software.  Webmail
software merely interfaces with the mail server.  That's the same no
matter what software you're using.  You need to research and learn
about how to configure your file system and web server.

The ONLY thing this has to do with SquirrelMail is *IF* you want to
give your users the ability to also manage files in their home
directories via the webmail interface.  If that's the case, see my
previous response.
