This means Apache process (which executes WebMail) has insufficient permissions to the WebMail PHP data folder (its location is specified in inc_setting_path.php file). If the Apache process is owner of all contents of the data folder, you should assign the following permissions:

 * 755 for the data folder and all subfolders
 * 644 for all files in the data folder and all subfolders.

If you have SSH or direct access to your server, you can do this as follows:

 * Navigate to the WebMail data folder to make it the current folder;
 * Run find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
 * Run find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Otherwise, you can manually assign these permissions through FTP (most FTP clients and servers support remote assigning of permissions).

If the Apache process is not owner of all contents of the data folder, the permissions should be:

 * 777 for the data folder and all subfolders
 * 666 for all the files in the data folder and all subfolders.
