Thanks for that! It's definitely put me on the path to a solution. Now when I
navigate to my SM webmail I get the URL http://mydomain/mymsgs/src/login.php
which is great!

However, this is only the login screen. When I successfully log in the URL
reads http://mydomain/mymsgs/src/webmail.php.

As I am not at one of my clients where webmail is blocked today, I can't say if this
will result in it being filtered or not. I suspect however it might be.

If I do need to get rid of this reference in the URL I guess I am going to
have to change the name of the file webmail.php and change any calling
references to it - Am I right?

I have grepped the squirrelmail directory (# grep webmail.php /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/*) and found that
webmail.php is referenced in the following files:
/usr/share/squirrelmail/src/mailto.php:   
/usr/share/squirrelmail/src/options.php:
/usr/share/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php: 
and of course in webmail.php itself.

Would I have to change all references in all these files (and are there any
I've missed)?

Is this the right way to approach this? Can anyone suggest a more elegant (and
more maintainable!) solution?

Thanks for your help so far. Much appreciated!
