That's  your problem. SquirrelMail can't use STARTTLS and needs LOGIN
support.

Remove disable=yes part from imaps service, restart xinetd and configure
SquirrelMail to use IMAP over SSL
(http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-5.html#ss5.4). or create
/etc/c-client.cf file. You might need /etc/c-client.cf anyway, if you run
public imap server.
