Have you checked if the VirtualHost is the default one (you can use
apachectl -S to confirm)?

So from
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule:
"RewriteRule Pattern Substitution [flags]"
"In VirtualHost context, The Pattern will initially be matched against the
part of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string
(e.g. "/app1/index.html"). This is the (%-decoded) URL-path."
If I got it correctly you are trying to match the hostname in the Pattern,
that shouldn't work in Vhost context.
Also how to direct Webmail.foo.com to https://webmail.foo.com?

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect or
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#redirectmatch might
help you (and in my opinion they are way more maintainable than rewrite
rules).
Hope that helps!
Luca
