This is how I did it (http://webmail.ourldsfamily.com is my URL):

In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I added the lines in the Directory section:

<Directory /var/www/html/webmail>
   Allow from localhost
   Options ExecCGI Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks Includes
</Directory>

And then in the Virtual Hosts section:

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerAdmin root@ourldsfamily.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/webmail
  ServerName webmail.ourldsfamily.com
  ServerAlias webmail webmail.ourldsfamily.com www.webmail.ourldsfamily.com
  ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/error_log.webmail
  CustomLog /var/log/httpd/access_log.webmail common
  ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml
  ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml
</VirtualHost>

I also had to add a host in my named/ourldsfamily DNS so the correct IP is
read and listened to.
