Squirrel mail definitely does not require maildir.  I know this because I'm 
running it with mbox mailboxes.

My only suggestion for how to get things to work is to completely disable 
the SSL stuff from uw-imap.  That's about the only way I was able to get 
things to work properly (although I didn't try to hard to get it to work 
with ssl, since I only use imap for web based mail).  To do this, you need 
to recompile the cclient and imap-uw ports with the option -DWITHOUT_SSL (I 
think that's the proper option), and then recompile the php4-imap port so 
it recognizes that your imap doesn't use ssl.

And of course make sure you run the configure script for squirrelmail.
