Rep:
i would say postfix is a simple mta (mail transfere agent) and is only there to deliver mail, not to store mail like a pop3 or imap server would do. postfix only talks smtp which is different. but then at the same time i should say, you are heading the right way. OE and SquirrelMail are simply clients connecting to a pop or imap server. if SquirrelMail works as expected and OE does not, then i would suggest you check the config files for SquirrelMail and make sure OE has the same settings. This includes the way the password is sent to the mail server, the host address of the mail server, the port... everything.
hope this will get you further.
