This might be a good time to verify my modifications.

First I created a file squirrelmail/src/right_intro.php.
This is turned into the default right frame by making it
the default in squirrelmail/src/webmail.php.

My next step was to hack together a plugin of sorts which
consisted of installing the YaBBSE message board software
(http://www.yabbse.org). This was done by installing the
YaBB software into the plugins directory and creating the
hook to put the menus in the left frame.

Just like all plugins I included /src/validate.php so that
only authenticated users could see the message board. The
message board uses cookies for authentication which I
obviously didn't want to use as I had alreayd
authenticated my user. YaBBSE had two functions that
needed modification to get it to integrate.

LoadCookie(); which I modified to just return the SM
username  ie ($username=$_SESSION['username'];)

and LoadUserSettings(); which I modified to create the
user if it does not exist in the sql backend. This
prevents people from having to register for the board. It
essentially does the registration process if the user is
not found, then returns the user info.

Everything else is just pieced together. Thanks to a good
quota plugin and some coding to get the most recent posts
on the message board. I do like it because it ties all the
users on the system together, something that would not
happen with just the webmail.
