I am using the same configuration for Squirrelmail I had before, but after the update Squirrelmail behaves very strangely - the most noticeable thing is that users are able to read their emails, but the programs hangs after sending email (the email gets sent but the browser remains frozen apparently waiting for a response from the secure server, the only solution is to close the browser and login to Squirrelmail again).  I am using Firefox ESR 24.7.0 in my tests, but the problem seems to be browser independent.

Except for the SL version update everything is also the same on the secure server - firewall settings, certificates, etc.

I'm using squirrelmail on 6.5 fine, but it's running on the mail server and 
using the default /usr/sbin/sendmail configuration to send mail.  If the web 
server can hand mail off to the mail server via sendmail, you might try that.

Anything in the httpd error logs?  SELinux?

We also use roundcube here.  Seems nice.
