But when I try to open the url http://<IP_ADDRESS>/cgi-bin/sqwebmail/sqwebmail <http://%3CIP_ADDRESS%3E/cgi-bin/sqwebmail/sqwebmail> in a browser, I get the message that the url could not be opened as connection to port 443 was denied. Is this because of the Squid proxy server ? Logically it shouldn't, because, just to be sure, I have put the following two lines into my squid.conf :

acl sqwebmailport port 443 http_access sqwebmailport allow

But nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me out ? A lot of guys in my organization keep travelling and touring, the webmail is the only feasible way they can collect their messages.

Have you started apache with the -DSSL flag? If you execute "telnet localhost 443" from the FreeBSD box, does the connection succeed or fail? If it fails, make sure you're enabling SSL when you start apache.

That's the first thing to check.
