I may have missed one of the earlier e-mails, but do you have a
<Directory></Directory> clause in httpd.conf that allows access to
/usr/share/squirrelmail?

Something similar to what Mike provided earlier:
<Directory "/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs"> #maybe, /var/lib/squirrelmail
    Options All
    AllowOverride All
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.html default.htm index.php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</Directory>

I'm still fuzzy on where your files really live, but I think the missing
<Directory> bit may be the key.  Note that you need to allow access to the
physical dir itself, not the symlinked dir.

One more thing to remember... Sometimes you'll have directories with sensitive
files that do need to be accessable by the web server.  For these dirs, make
sure that you include some sort of index.html to prevent snooping.
