I've got these in our .htaccess which seem to behave well, though I do
have two VirtualHost

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mail.zen.org$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mail.zen.org$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.zen.org/horde/$1 [R=301,L]

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/mail$ https://www.zen.org/horde/

I've also got

    <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName mail.zen.org
     Redirect / https://www.zen.org/horde/
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
     ServerName mail.zen.org
     Redirect / https://www.zen.org/horde/
    </VirtualHost>

used by apache.  I've also got separate entries for

    <VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName www.zen.org
    ...
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost www.zen.org:443>
     ServerName www.zen.org
    ...
    </VirtualHost>

for catching the real destination.
