    Squirrelmail only talks IMAP, yes. So you'd need a separate IMAP server
    (which has nothing to do with postfix, which is a MTA). I can recommend
    cyrus, but if you only have one account and one folder to check, it's
    probably way easier to setup uw-imapd instead. If you don't need a full
    fledged mail system on that PC and just an easy approach to read the
    mail, another solution would probably be to forward the mail to another
    mail server.
