Yes.  I generally install in a central location, say
/home/tools/squirrelmail then make it accessible to all sites by adding the
following to the end of srm.conf:

Alias /webmail/ /home/tools/squirrelmail/

I use the /webmail/ alias so that if I change to a different webmail
solution I don't have to inform the users of a URL change.  If I want to
specify the sites which can access it I put the Alias line in the
appropriate VirtualHost containers within httpd.conf instead.  And in some
cases I install a dedicated copy of SquirrelMail in each site, though I only
do that if the server admin has some very specific needs that an
uncustomized global solution can't deal with.

I usually just deal with through user education and I generally tell my
clients to do the same.  It is possible to stop those messages, though I
don't recall the solution off-hand.  IIRC, there is info. on how to stop
this on the qpopper.com site and I believe if you search the archives for a
post from Brent Sims, I think in cobalt-users in the last few months, (if I
remember right) he speaks of a solution.  The solution is
