Oh, right, I did not read the OP's message correctly. What I was trying 
to tell is that if he somehow can manage it to encapsulate his IMAP 
requests in HTTP, he may get them through squid, but this does not 
really help as he is probably unable to decode this on the server side, 
unless he sets up a special "http tunnel end". Probably possible but 
then I would rather go for an IMAP proxy - that would be a 
straightforward solution that achieves what he actually wants tro do.
