I went through this thread:

I also needed that IMAP to work via Squid. There was no conclusion on
that thread.
Is it possible to use Squid for IMAP traffic using HTTP's CONNECT
method? If not, can anybody tell us the reason? I thought CONNECT can
be used to achieve the same functionality that SOCKS can provide? Am I
missing something?
No, you are not missing something, currently this is not possible.
Squid concentrateds on being a good HTTP proxy with some limited
functionality RE https.
The "tunnel CONNECT" patch mentioned in the thread might help, but only
if you have a target that accepts what has been tunneled.
I.E. you could try to tunnel IMAP via SSL but only if the target
mailserver accepts SSL.
It is probably impossible to tunnel a plain IMAP connection in this way
as your target mailserver will not understand the protocol being delivered.
