Jon,
        First, Thank You much for responding. I believe you are right that this is
an Apache problem. I have both installed from an RPM (apache-1.3.27-2 and
compiled my own and received the same problem.
Anyhow I have tried the syntax but got this error:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /mydomain/
    RewriteRule ^mail$ mail/ [R]
# apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 834 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
RewriteBase: only valid in per-directory config files
#

The more I look around this problem has been addressed but not solved.

The one from the docs on the apache website says this:

RewriteEngine  on
RewriteBase    /~quux/
RewriteRule    ^foo$  foo/  [R]

Which means you missed out a line, although I'm not sure it'd have too
much of an effect over it, but worth a shot anyway.

I think you're likely to find that this is an apache problem, and not
squirrelmail at all. The problem you're seeing is apache isn't
attempting a lookup inside mail/ but reading mail/ as a folder. I
thought they'd fixed their more recent versions to automatcially
rewrite that url for you... *shrugs*.
