I have.  Not all the html is in the templates.  If you look at the 
templates, you'll see parts missing, and those parts are embedded in the 
sqwebmail binary.  Colors and all.  The sqwebmail binary sends the 
formatted html to the web browser.  If you want to change the things 
that you can change in the templates, you'll need to edit the correct 
files in the source code and recomple.  Then you'll see your changes.

It's not too difficult, but it's not for the faint hearted either.  The 
real trick is for you to find where in the sqwebmail source code is the 
html that will change what you want.  Knowing c will help you find this 
more quickly, but if you're persistent enough you'll figure it out.

If this seems like more than you've bargained for, you might want to 
look at using courier-imap and using an imap based webmail program like 
squirrelmail or imp.  They might not be as lean or fast as sqwebmail, 
but unless you have a large volume of webmail users, it shouldn't be a 
big deal.

I use squirrelmail in production primarily because of the module 
architecture (lots of 3rd party functionality), and I don't have any 
really high traffic mail domains.  In contrast, at my old job we 
deployed a free email service for nursefinders.com that had upwards of 
20,000 users, so we used sqwebmail.  The look of nursefinders.com is 
fairly customized.  You can go there and sign up for a free account if 
you'd like to see what was done.
