Both installs are pkg installs.  I know that neomail keeps all its user info
in a central location.  I'm the only one who's got openwebmail (cuz it
failed right out of the box), so that's not a problem.  Is killing them as
simple as deleting the files.  I've never uninstalled a pkg app.  They are
both cgi after all. . .   Would it be inadvisable to install it side by side
to minimize downtime??

Sounds great!  I have no problem making people login to the gui for password
stuff.  Realistically, I don't see that as an issue, a good password
shouldn't be too easy to change.
 
However, I have one big issue and one little issue, before I try the
install.  They say that you must have one of these IMAPS:

IMAPrev1 server (e.g. TheUWServer, CourierImap, TheCyrusServer,
CommuniGate(Apple version) CommuniGate Pro(Linux version) , Mercury32 Mail,
Apple Mail)

I know for a fact that I'm on U Washington IMAP.  Is that compatible?
Anyone else squirreling with it?

Second, I suppose I'd get this: squirrelmail-1.2.6-1.noarch.rpm or would I
get the src and compile it.

The curse of the raq2.  At least I have php 4.1.2 runnin like a champ.

Thanks so much!
