Without knowing what webmail you use, I can't tell exact instructions. Generally very old webmail software is security risk. I've had one of my systems rooted years ago due to old Horde installation.

Many webmails have upgrade packages but if your version is very old it might be easiest to do new install and replace old one with that.

It shows the version as:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Its squirrelmail.

That is not really squirrelmails version, jsut doctype statement from indexfile.

Have you installed squirrelmail from packagemanager or from .tar.gz? If from packagemanager, just use its upgrade capabilities. If from tar.gz, download latest stable version (at this time its 1.4.21) Link here and read squirrelmail-1.4.21/doc/UPGRADE for instructions.
