The error is quite informative:
You should check that your imap server on localhost is up and running.
Since you didn't say what imap server software you're using, try:

Code:

netstat -tanpl|grep 143

to see if it runs and listens on port 143.

First check if you have already installed one of the most common imap servers for linux (dovecot, cyrus, courier) and all you need to do is just to start it. Or else use your package manager to install it.
Then you have to configure squirrelmail to use that particular imap server.
