I just built a new email server using courier/sqwebmail and had the same
problem. My build was on a debian box so everything came in .deb
packages, but I believe upstream source downloads might have the same
problem. Anyway, the process ID's for all courier programs reside in
/var/run/courier. In my build of courier, the default permissions for
/var/run/courier were 770 with uid/gid of daemon.daemon. Getting
sqwebmail to run was solved by ...

chmod 755 /var/run/courier

Indeed, I checked an old email server that has been running
courier/sqwebmail for a long while now, and its permissions were 755,
not 770 as in the default build.

FYI there is a bug filed already in the Debian BTS for this.
