I noticed that when I set it up... the package only sets up for http access,
not https. I added the lines to the httpd.conf for apache-ssl and removed
them from apache.

Well, the difference is that you'll use a https://x.y.z/squirrelmail/ as the
URL when you connect... thus hitting port 443 instead of the port 80 server.

Yeah, although from memory I saw some strangeness with squirrelmail
rewriting the URL to be http://x.y.z:443/squirrelmail and failing if I
didn't have a trailing / on the url.

IE, https://x.y.z/squirrelmail/ not https://x.y.z/squirrelmail
