Vijaya,
Don't know what your hosting system is, and I don't know just exactly
where you want to make the path simpler (URL?  shell command?)

Anyway, if it is the URL you wish to make simpler, this is a function of
your Web Server.  For example, if you have installed SM at:
   /var/www/html/Squirrelmail-1.4.2

In your Apache (you are using Apache aren't you?) http.conf file you would
set:
   DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/Squirrelmail-1.4.2"


Except for the details this is our setup and you access our SM with:
   http://webmail.aurora.edu

On a Linux/UNIX system a further nicety is to make a sym-link in your
installation directory that points the name "squirrelmail" at your
installed version.  So, my DocumentRoot is actually:
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/squirrelmail"

which is a link to the actual installation.  This allows me to install a
new version of SM along side my operational version and configure it. 
When I am ready I stop my web server, switch the sym-link and restart the
server.

Hope this helps.
