So obviously nothing is listening on the IMAP port. Have you made the appropriate entry in /etc/inetd/conf? It must look like this: imap4 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd BTW, this is explained in the docs/BUILD document of the imap-uw source distribution. > Then trying to send an email with that client, get a message back > saying, do not allow relaying. This is not a problem related to the IMAP daemon, but to the MTA (sendmail if you haven't installed anything different). > The man for imapd is VERY limited.
