Hope this helps. Sorry, I'm not sure I quite understand. I have changed the Alias line in the apache.conf file as you suggested and it does certainly work for the root of the URL that is presented in the browser. Previously, the URL was http://mydomain/webmail/src/login.php ^^^^^^^ Now, after changing apache.conf, as I indicated above, the initial URL is: http://mydomain/mymsgs/src/login.php ^^^^^^ which is a good start. Unfortunately, having logged in to SM the next URL that appears in the browser is: http://mydomain/mymsgs/src/webmail.php ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm guessing that, having logged in, SM calls the php script called "webmail.php" which exists in the directory /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/ and unfortunately this name appears in the browser URL. So if I want to avoid the word "webmail" ever appearing in a browser URl, I presume I will need to rename the php script called "webmail.php" to be something like "mymsgs.php", but if I do that I will have to find all places where "webmail.php" is called and change them to "mymsgs.php" otherwise SM simply won't work. Or am I mistaken? I am very grateful for your help in this. At this stage I'm not even sure that it is the occurrence of the word "webmail" in the URL that is causing it to be blocked (or if it is a more sophisticated form of filtering), but until I eliminate it I can't be certain. Thanks again. AD
