Squirrelmail itself is not an email server and as such has nothing to do
with email account creation or management. It is an IMAP client in much
the same way as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, etc, etc, etc.
Your IMAP username and password are going to depend entirely on how you
set up Postfix and IMAP (which aren't really dependencies other than you
need to have an IMAP email account for Squirrelmail to talk to and a way
to receive mail). Typically, in a very basic setup, your username and
password are going to be the same as the ones you use to log into the
machine that you installed the IMAP server on. Is that the same server
that you receive mail at? If not, you probably meant to configure
Squirrelmail to talk to _that_ machine instead, assuming it provides
IMAP services of course.

This is a very basic mail question that you are asking. I'm actually a
little surprised that you managed to install all of the above software
without knowing the answer. I would encourage you to Google for email
server administration to learn more.
