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.
