hey guys, one of our technicians have asked more for the sake of safety, to have squirrelmailed installed as well. will squirrel mail be able to work on the zimbra servers?
even if we put the actual files on another server and just make it connect to here?

Yes. We support standard IMAP. So you can just point squirrelmail to our IMAP backend. By default this is port 143

Yeah, you can connect to Zimbra via any IMAP client.
Being that squirrelmail uses imap by default, it should actually be pretty easy to set this up.
You could even put squirrelmail on the same server if you're willing to tinker a bit... you could tell Zimbra to stop listening on port 80, and put an Apache instance there. From there, you could send people to squirrelmail (or anything else) on that server, or hand off requests to the Zimbra service.
Or you could run squirrelmail on another server without tinkering at all

Have a good one,
