After switching to php-5.4 I only see a white page at login to squirrelmail and found this error in the apache logs: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_unregister() in /var/www/... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge php version 5.4 2. eselect php set apache2 php5.4 3. /etc/init.d/apache2 restart 4. login to squirrelmail According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664895 and the paragraph "ANNOUNCE: PHP 5.4 Compatibility" on http://squirrelmail.org/index.php this should be fixed in the "Stable version snapshots (1.4.23-svn)" (see http://squirrelmail.org/download.php).
mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.23_pre20121024 is added to the tree (hard mask for now). Can you please test and see if it works with php-5.4? Thank you.
Tested mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.23_pre20121024 with php-5.4 but the error remains.
I'm having problems with php-5.4 and squirrelmail too although I don't get the blank page that Horst does. Certain lines of some messages don't appear in squirrelmail but do appear normally in claws-mail. This started when I upgraded to php-5.4. I've just upgraded to squirrelmail-1.4.23_pre20121024 and restarted apache2 but the problem persists.

This looks like a separate bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3525227&group_id=311&atid=100311 Do I understand you correctly that squirrelmail-1.4.23_pre20121024 works for you with php-5.4 otherwise?
Sorry, should have read the error log more carefully or post the complete message here: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function session_unregister() in /var/www/<hostname>/htdocs-secure/squirrelmail/plugins/login_alias/functions.php on line 64, referer: https://<hostname>/src/login.php So incompatible with php-5.4 is the login_alias plugin, which I installed by just unpacking the tgz in /var/www/<hostname>/htdocs-secure/squirrelmail/plugins/. It seems that rest of squirrelmail uses sqsession_unregister() defined in it's own functions/global.php, so I replaced all calls of session_unregister() to sqsession_unregister() in the login_alias plugin (as there is no newer version than my 2.5 on squirrelmail.org) and the error is fixed. Finally I reverted back to squirrelmail-1.4.22: It also works with php-5.4.
> Finally I reverted back to squirrelmail-1.4.22: It also works with php-5.4. So, can you please revert the version pinning for PHP-5.3 in the ebuild? Since PHP-5.4 is stable, the pinning forces the installation of PHP-5.3 in an extra slot when installing squirrelmail.
