i swear this is a dup too.

you appear to be confusing https, imaps, and pop3s.  http or https are
what you need to provide to the web browser that will access squirrelmail
over the inter/intranet.  imap or imaps is what squirrelmail will use to
talk to the IMAP server behind the scenes to authenticate the user and get
her mail, etc.  Squirrelmail (and you imap server) have absolutely nothing
to do with your ability to get to the login page via https - that's all in
the web server config.  once you've ironed that out (oh, and there are
plugins to help you force SSL connections if needed), you can start with
imap and squirrelmail (btw, if the two are on the same server, there's no
need for a secure connection).  oh, and pop3... SM isn't a pop client, but
there is a mail_fetch plugin that allows you to access pop mail and pull
it onto the imap server.

so, make sure your web server is configured (and yes, the right ports have
to be open), and that you can access the SM directory with https, and go
from there...
