So what do get?

Your webserver has to be correctly configured for https operation, of
course.

Try this:

$ openssl s_client -connect www.yourdomain.com:443
GET /cgi-bin/sqwebmail?index=1 HTTP/1.0
Host: www.yourdomain.com
<blank line>

You should get back a HTML frameset. If that works, replace "index=1" with
"noframes=1" and see what you get back.

Yes. That means if you go in with http:// then it will stay http:, and if
you go in https:// then it will stay https: (i.e. all the embedded links in
the page are all either http: or https: respectively)

That makes the login page https:, but all subsequent pages http:. It's the
option of choice if you have a very busy CPU and want to minimise encryption
overhead.
