This is the best way - they your users don't have to remember to specify
https:// in the address bar - ask yourself, what did you want your users
to see if they went to http://webmail.mydomain.com ??

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.123>
  ServerName      webmail.mydomain.com
  Redirect	      permanent / https://webmail.mydomain.com/
</VirtualHost>
