Helly Jan and All,
Thank you very much for the reply.
The info helped get my imap server up, but I now have a new problem.

Thanks, I now see that inetd just pushes the socket request to whatever
inetd.conf tells it. I just assumed that /libexec/imapd was a sym link or
something to whatever started imapd. I should have looked, but never
really understood that inetd handled requests on the fly. I always thought
it started a daemon in the background and that was that.

Anyway, my new problem is that when I try to check mail via imap,
mozilla simply tells me 'login failed'. I know I am typing the correct
account password. Is there an imap configuration file I need to configure
to tell it to use a particular authentication method or something?

Thanks for any info!
