Description freebsd 2015-08-10 16:37:30 UTC 
While installing squirrelmail-20150324, part of your message says following:

3) If you have trouble logging in, add the following to your php.ini:
   session.auto_start = 1

yet when I did that, I now getting following in my browser:

SquirrelMail 1.4.x is not compatible with PHP's session.auto_start
setting. Please disable it at least for the location where
SquirrelMail is installed.

I'm using php56-5.6.11.

by removing that line from my virtual host, that brings me back to
working SquirrelMail.

Log:
  Remove the suggestion to add session.auto_start=1 to php.ini if
  logging in fails. On modern PHP, it *makes* logging in fail.

  PORTREVISION bump to be on the safe side.
