It does?

Well, it sure doesn't look like _I_ would expect.

But that's because none of your images are showing up. ( 
/webmail/graytopleft.png - gives a 404 error. )

Try making sure, first, that the webmail/images folder got installed 
properly -- either by the build process if you supplied the appropriate 
options, or at least manually afterwards if you didn't.

Then, if that seems to be correct, make sure that Apache is configured 
to serve the contents of the installed images folder as "/webmail/" -- 
and update your config and restart Apache if it isn't yet.
