I have used Open WebMail which is based on NeoMail under OpenBSD.

Have a look at the top of the main perl script. To Open WebMail I added:
push (@INC, '/home/foo.bar/openwebmail', ".");

You may need to do something similar (so it knows where to find the
neomail.conf file).

Also, neomail has a mailinglist and FAQ -- maybe they can help.

(As for the SUID script: I purposely got rid of the setuid root for my
webmail; I use alternative passwd files so I don't need any
"superuser" abilities to run.)
