I agree with Brian's opinion.  At Befriend we've tried about 15 different
webmail solutions (some open source, some commercial) and Squirrelmail is my
personal favorite.  It's the webmail program which I normally recommend to
clients.

Unless you're customizing each copy you install, you should know that you
could simply install it in one location (for example webmail.yourdomain.tld)
and provide all of your clients access, install it once on the server and
add an Alias directive in srm.conf to make it available via the same
directory on all sites (for example www.everysiteonthebox.com/webmail/ ) or
install it once on the server and add an Alias directive in httpd.conf for
each specific site you wish to give access to Squirrelmail.  It's certainly
a lot easier to manage upgrades and modifications and takes up less HD space
this way.

After re-reading the original poster's email, it seems the poster was having
a problem with the webmail program that comes pre-installed on the Qube 3.
And it sounded like there is either a bug in the program or something that
someone did (installing a Cobalt PKG, firewalling IMAP, disabling IMAP,
etc.) broke the webmail program.  If it's a bug or related to installation
of an official Cobalt PKG then the poster should not incur support
consulting fees.
