Worth noting here is SquirrelMail's "Secure Login" plugin:

http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=61

This forces use of SSL at login time. On the two systems that I use it
on, the entire subsequent session uses SSL, but that may well be more a
function of my Apache configurations than of the use of the plugin.

Another login-oriented SquirrelMail plugin that I'm fond of (because
it's mine <G>) is this one:

http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=223
