Squid is only capable of proxy-ing HTTP traffic. It can't do anything
for IMAP/POP/SMTP. The configuration is required to be done on your
network perimeter device by creating an access control list (ACL) that
allows outbound IMAP/POP/SMTP.

If you're using Gmail, the network admin needs to create a rule that
allows connection from your machine to ports 465 or 587 (SMTP) and 993
 (IMAP) of the gmail mail servers.

In most scenarios, the firewall/gateway is configured to forward all
HTTP traffic to the squid host (or to a port running squid on the same
host) and either drop or directly allow  connections that are not
HTTP.
