I remember seeing this after a new installation.

IIRC there are two conditions that can cause this problem :
    1)  mailgraph hasn't been run and thus hasn't compiled any stats
            to generate the images from

    2)  permissions problem on the data

As for solving #1, make sure you run mailgraph.  Since I have
sufficient system resources, I just run the daemon continuously.

As for problem #2, maybe the following information will help you
identify and solve it.  I don't recall exactly what (if anything) I
had to do.

$ ls -ld /var/lib/mailgraph

Come to think of it, I may have had to chown those directories and
files to www-data:www-data.
