You need an IMAP server as well.  I use courier-imap, I'm not sure if will
have an RPM for it or not, most likely not.  I build all my e-mail related
software from source...  Note that courier-imap only works with Maildir's.
 If you use mbox you may need to try something else.

You might actually have an IMAP server installed as I'd assume the
SquirrelMail RPM would require one.  Maybe it's just not started?

Try rpm -q --requires SquirrelMail (or squirrelmail?)

See this: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/GettingIMAP
and this: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/PossibleIMAPConsiderations

Getting SM up and running was kind of a challenge, but once you do it's
pretty solid...
