Squirrelmail is dead. Nobody did the work to port it to a recent php version. So I think you should switch to another webmail software. Roundcube is a good choice in my option, but there is also no package in EPEL 8.

Thanks, that confirms my knowledge. FreeBSD port I have mentioned in my reply to OP's post does work with PHP 7.2. It could be port maintainer who made necessary patching. Anyway, as an interim solution while choosing what to migrate to it is possible to download tarball of FreeBSD port, and installed what is in it. It shouldn't be much trouble: php 7.2 it depends on is php 7.2 whatever system it is installed on. Just thought.

Here is the link to FreeBSD port:

https://www.freshports.org/mail/squirrelmail/

Here is reference to squirrelmail snapshots from the above:

http://snapshots.squirrelmail.org/

I hope, this helps.

Hi,

As far as I know, squirrelmail is noT actively maintained for quite some time:

https://www.squirrelmail.org/

For this reason, variety of distributions phase it out, or may do it soon. Latest version coming as port on FreeBSD is dated Apr 4, 2018 (it runs under PHP-7.2 so I'm happy so far). I maintain two webmail front ends: squirrelmail and round cube. I plan to replace squirrelmail with Horde webmail soon.

I hope, this helps.

Thanks.. Squirrelmail is still available on Fedora 31 so I was thinking it still should be around for centos 8 (and it does work on the latest versions of php)

I will have to look around for something to replace it but the big problem is getting the users to like something new...

Hi,

You can rebuild the RPM on a CentOS 8 box from

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23... or https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/...

and install the resulting RPM.

For the source

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/

the last commit was 6 days ago.

you can use

https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrelmail/code/HEAD/tree/branches/SM-1_4-STABLE...

if you are interested in hacking, as the default configuration is different from CentOS.

thanks

Horde webmail seems to be closest in appearance and interaction with user. Round cube is way different. I must confess though, I didn't have time to try horde webmail yet.

Yes, and Fedora fully escaped my mind... so Fedora source package rebuilt on your system may be the smoothest solution.
