I have squirrelmail running on rhel ES 3 (soon to be centos), and it was 
no trouble to setup.  (I also know virtually nothing about php, fwiw)  I 
haven't checked the centos packages, but rhel includes a squirrelmail 
package, which I'm using.  I didn't have to add any config files for 
apache, but I do vaguely recall something about changing the 
register_globals option in /etc/php.ini.  I also recall finding 
everything I needed between the squirrelmail site and the included docs.
