Check epel repo.
squirrelmail-1.4.22-2.el6.noarch : webmail client written in php
It may be available on the epel repo, but as it is just a bunch of php's put into a webfile I tend to just get the tarball and configure Apache/PHP to run it. Does the rpm have any features beyond that? Patches / Plugins?
Squirrelmail has been fraught with issues in the past that allowed spammers to use it to relay email. It may have been the fault of PHP, I can't honestly remember. In any case 1.4.22 is the latest stable version, so you should be ok to use the rpm in that repo for the time being.

It is perhaps better to use the EPEL repository to get security updates (if there are) ?

Is there a guarantee that a package is being actively maintained if it is in the EPEL repository? I checked the FAQ and can't pin down what they do in those instances. I only say, as I have stated off-list, the reason I've not been using a repo for some php packages is that I've found that they were sometimes lagging behind with the current stable version, and that security issues existed that had not been patched by the repo in question.
