Delete /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/config/config.php file.

Something is dropping connections to localhost or you have your networking
misconfigured.

Or you could pack those files and post only link to them instead of
pasting files inline. Please note that archive should be recursive and
include symlinks. If you show me only apache2.conf, I don't know your real
configuration, because I don't know conf.d contents, enabled modules and
enabled sites.

I needed all config in order to make sure that you haven't broke your
apache configuration. But it looks like you have misconfigured localhost
network stuff or firewall.

Do you have real and working email setup? Can you send and receive emails?
If you do, how are you reading received emails?

Fix your networking stuff. Make sure that you get server greeting when you
telnet to imap port. If localhost fails, try using external mail server's
address. Use same username and password, that you are using to log into
your Ubuntu box or make sure that courier sees Postfix users. Please note
that you haven't provided any usable information about your email setup
and I have no idea about used authentication backends and other mail setup
details.
