I'm not sure what you are trying to do here with the
ProxyPass /mymail/* !
This says not to proxy (literally) '/mymail/*'. If you didn't want to
proxy anything below '/mymail/', the correct syntax is:
ProxyPAss /mymail/ !
although, given you other directives, why you have this one is a mystery.
Also, your ProxyPass{,Reverse} directives aren't right:
Proxy /mymail/ http://192.168.1..12:8080
This says 'when path begins '/mymail/', substitute '/mymail/' with
'http://192.168.1..12:8080' and proxy to the resultant URL.
When you have a requested URI like '/mymail/kookie', it will attempt
to proxy to 'http://192.168.1..12:8080kookie' - this is what you asked
it to do.
A simple rule I follow is to always keep the trailing '/' matching on
both arguments of ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse - if one side has a
trailing '/', so should the other.
