Heh - no worries... I thought maybe my questions were too 'elemental'
for the list... ;)

I did this over 4 years ago way back when I was young and ignorant.

Now that I'm old and even more ignorant, I'm trying to clean up the mess
I made... ;) lol

I've got current backups (do those every night), so no worries there.

The good news is, no one really uses it - which is why I haven't been
too worried about it being so old. But I'm now wanting to update it and
also install roundcube and give people a choice...

Yep, they appear to be the same... so is that good?

What I really want to do is clean things up. If that means nuking the
old squirrelmail install, so be it. The main thing I need to worry about
is the user authentication config, and I'm sure I can figure that out...

So, check me here. If I just start from scratch, for webmail I'm
thinking I'd like a directory structure something like:

/var/www/webmail.example.com/htdocs/package

So, to install )from scratch) squirrelmail so that it installs to the
above directory structure, I'd do:

webapp-config -I -h webmail.example.com -d squirrelmail 1.4.19

which would install to: /var/www/webmail.example.com/htdocs/squirrelmail

Is that right?

Then roundcube would be:

webapp-config -I -h webmail.example.com -d roundcube 0.3.1

?

The main thing I'm concerned about is another app I have installed that
is *not* installed with webapp-config, and that is an old version of
postfixadmin (2.1), and that is next on my list of things to update.

You don't happen to use postfixadmin do you? ;)

Yeah, I know, I'm on Gentoo too and updating is what I'm trying to
accomplish... ;)

Thanks *so* much again for taking the time to help me with this...
