We have httpd-2.4.x in Fedora 18 so we have to tweak squirrelmail.conf
to not receive FORBIDDEN when trying to access
http://our-server/webmail.
Add this line: Require all granted
conforming http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#alias

#
# SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP.
#

Alias /webmail /usr/share/squirrelmail

<Directory "/usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/squirrelspell/modules">
  Deny from all
</Directory>

# this section makes squirrelmail use https connections only, for this
you
# need to have mod_ssl installed. If you want to use unsecure http 
# connections, just remove this section:
<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
  Require all granted
  RewriteEngine  on
  RewriteCond    %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
</Directory>
