SquirrelMail is web application. It runs with web server user privileges.
Web server user does not have access to configuration files that are stored
on users' Unix accounts.

You can access that file with custom backend for SquirrelMail preferences,
but it would require privilege elevation to root account or backend will
work only with IMAP servers similar to UW IMAP. Privilege elevation is safer
way as UW IMAP might just corrupt your signature with its mailbox headers.
