Thius cannot work. SQUID is a HTTP protocol proxy and does not know or
understand POP3, SMTP, IMAP...
You either need to allow these client direct internet access via
NAT/firewall or use proxy applications dedicated for these protocols.
Or use a mail server that delivers mails via HTPS to Outlook (Exchange
can be configured to do so, additional config on squid required, though).

HTH,
