Hi David -

I've never had to set up SSL for my server. After enabling SSL, I was 
able to access the same info through http://www.enviexperts.com and 
https://www.enviexperts.com:443, so I figured I was fine. That's the 
part I was thinking of when I mentioned verifying it. I did the same 
setup you mention above, but I didn't think to send the email from 
the https domain, only from the http variant. I just now tried it 
from https and it worked correctly. Now I just need to write a little 
redirect, like you mentioned. I'm planning on just redirecting if 
someone goes into the squirrelmail directory, unless that's a problem 
I'm unaware of.
