Howdy all,
I am kinda in a crunch here for time. I am working my tail off getting things done so I can pac out for IRAQ in about 10 days or so and am trying to resolve another issue so it's not on my plate when I leave.

I love squirrelmail, but think the other mail client has quite a bit to be desired. That is probally because i have used squirrelmail for a long time now, and just love the format. It also seems easier to navigate for my end users as well.

In a post in another forum I belive it indicates I can change the httpd.conf to reflect this. ( http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1038&highlight=squirrelmail+to+/webmail )

How on earth do I do this? Can someone give me guidance on how to accomplish this one? Any guidance at all would be appreciated as UNIX is not my strong suit, I am more of a Windows IIS guy... but let's not go there just yet.

BTW.... I run DA 2.5

What I have done is I login to my box

Get to where the webmail is stored
cd /var/www/html

Move the old webmail to a new directory
mv webmail uebimiau

make squirrelmail the default
ln -s squirrelmail webmail

Hopefully this will work for you.
 
open your httpd.conf and search for:

/webmail

you should see 2 lines

/webmail
/squirrelmail

just chnage the path of the webmail url to that of squirrelmail and if you wish add another line /uebimail or something if you want :)
