Question: 

I was wondering how to change the present view preferences for squirrelmail?
Right now when checking email a list comes up on the top half of the page and then you view the emails underneath.
This is terrible!  Is there a way to make this look different?

 Answer:

Its amazing how we all want something different and thankfully - Squirrelmail and Nutsmail do have many options for display preferences/ - Go to Options/Display Preferences and turn this off. That will fix it for you
