Hi!

Squirrelmail itself has no such option And I doubt there ever will be
one. The only way would be to use post requests to a single address and
I don't think that this has any kind of chance for implementation.
Disabling the cache with html headers like you suggested will definitely
not work. It will just tell the browser not to cache the site content
and reload it with every visit; but it will not stop the address from
getting into the history.

The easiest way of course would be to use a browser that puts the
manually typed addresses to the top of the history list. Firefox for
example does that and therefor eleminates the hole problem. Who cares
about how long the list is, if the actual "entry"-page for your site is
always on top? I think even the Microsoft Browsers do that, no really
sure though.

But if you want to keep using Apple products there is a workaround to
make even Apple user friendly. What you can do - I do the same thing for
another site with all kinds of browsers - is to use a null frame:

Just create a website with address webmail.example.com and in there you
put the following html body as directry index:
[...]
<body>
<frameset rows="100%">
<frame title="_top" src="http://squirrel.example.com"; />
</frameset>
</body>

Then you create a second website with the address squirrel.example.com
and put the squirrelmail installation there. Now the browser will only
show one address when you start typing "webmail" as the actual
squirrelmail data is coming from a different site with a completely
different address.

And before the flaming war against frames starts, frames are perfectly
valid if you use them with the correct doctype. There is
"|http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd"; for HTML and there even is
"||http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"; for XHTML.|

Yours
