I being defeated by the task of installing squirrelmail yet people use it so it must be possible. So two simple questions to start with: 1. Is there anywhere that really explains how the installation is to be done in more detail then the explanation in the INSTALL file which is inadequate to say the least. 2. In the instructions it says to point your browser to the squirrelmail directory. This turns out to be hard since I don't know which directory is to be considered as the squirrelmail directory. What files are supposed to be in that directory when the browser transfers control to it? I have tried both the rpm and the tar-ball and both have confused me on that point.
oops, this was done in 2 minutes you need a web- and imap-server, allow cookies in your browser (cyrus-imapd need a litte bit more)
