Is there a risk for problems with such an approach? Debian was the first distro to make promises that you could upgrade in place. It's very good at that. > * Should I instead install 8.7 and later upgrade to Stretch? The only reason for me to look for an alternative to OpenSUSE is the short productive life of each release and too frequent configuration changes. I would recommend that. > * Does anybody know if Squirrelmail is working properly with PHP7 now? (I know that this is off-topic.) I don't know, no. Alternative web mail clients: Roundcube is packaged in Debian and works pretty well; Rainloop is not packaged in Debian and also works pretty well. -dsr-
