Have previously used debian's squirrelmail package, and I liked some of
it's features. Most importantly, configuration files are kept in
/etc/squirrelmail. Steps:
* create new squirrelmail directories as
/usr/share/squirrelmail-1.4.6 and /etc/squirrelmail-1.4.6 so as not to
interfere with running version during installation.
* move "config/*" to /etc/squirrelmail-1.4.6 and create symlink
* hack "conf.pl" to reflect change of location for sqmail, plugin and
themes directory. Otherwise cannot use conf.pl to load plugins.
Wrong. Rule No.1 for Debian - "Don't store custom files in system
directories". /usr/share is used by Debian packages. System upgrade can
override your customizations. It is very unlikely to happen to
/usr/share/squirrelmail-1.4.6, but you still use wrong place to store
customizations. Use /usr/local or webserver's data directories.

You are right. I know the FHS, and I am aware of this. This is my
personal preference, though. I don't claim FHS compliance and, like you
said, collision is unlikely with this versioning scheme.
STEP 3: HACK db_prefs.php
- This time, created custom patch to extend the default array for db
prefs in db_prefs.php. IMO this should be configurable externally.
See forced_prefs plugin.
Ah, yes. Written by you *g
I must have overseen it.
Thanks for the suggestion, and for your help with i18n. Composing, and
replying to emails in other character sets works fine now.
