If you telnet to port 443, and you get "connection refused", then you have
not configured Apache for https on the standard https port.

Sorry not me, and not here. This is a list for sqwebmail, not Apache, and
"how do I configure Apache to talk HTTPS" is nothing to do with sqwebmail.
I suggest you go to:
http://www.modssl.org/ (if you are using Apache + mod_ssl)
or http://www.apache-ssl.org/ (if you are using Apache-SSL)
And of course,
http://httpd.apache.org/

If you want to actually *talk* https then you would do this:
openssl s_client -connect hostname:443
at which point you could issue HTTP commands, e.g.
GET /cgi-bin/sqwebmail HTTP/1.0
Host: hostname
<blank line>
But telnet is sufficient to tell you that your machine is definitely not
listening on port 443 at all.
You could of course try
http://yourmachine/cgi-bin/sqwebmail
(i.e. http not https) and see if it works. If not, then you have another
Apache-specific question ("how do I configure Apache to have a cgi-bin
directory") which also doesn't belong here.
Good luck,
Brian.
