    Not quite. The righthand side of the Alias needs the full path to the
    directory on the file-system. So try this:
    
    Alias /mail /home/.sites/28/site1/web/roundcube/
    
    That would go into the site1.include file.

Worked perfectly! Thank you.
    
    If you generally want to redirect all /mail to the matching /roundcube,
    then you'd need to put something in /etc/httpd/conf.d/webmail.conf for
    example. There a RewriteRule would be better as it's not that stringent
    about having to have the file-path as the target, but it can be an URL
    or partial URL:
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                ^([^:]+)
    RewriteRule ^/mail/?$                  /roundcube [L,R]
    
    Or say all your Vsites have SSL certificates anyway and you sure want to
    redirect all /mail to https://<site>/roundcube to make them secure, you
    could use this instead:
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                ^([^:]+)
    RewriteRule ^/mail/?$                  https://$1/roundcube [L,R]
    
Brilliant. That is really useful information.

Thanks for your expert input!

BTW, this is the VPS that I couldn’t get RC to work on (after having to ‘fix’ the databases).
Dumped the whole VPS and started again and now all working well.

Kind regards
