Thanks. It worked for me right out of the box. Installing the rpm also left the apache config file for squirrelmail in /etc/httpd/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf I simply configured squirrelmail (ran the conf.pl script) to point to the correct imap server, pointed a web browser at mywebserver/webmail an it just worked.
