A couple of other things that will cause this symptom: Portsentry: If you have ~/portsentry/portsentry.conf configured to monitor port 143 tcp portsentry will need to be restarted after imapd is started. This will put it in advanced stealth scan mode for that port. Alternatively, edit portsentry.conf and take port 143 out of the picture, and restart portsentry.
Xinetd: If you are using xinetd, check and make sure that /etc/xinetd.d/imap has disable= yes. If all else fails, make your terminal window as wide as it gets and type "netstat -anvp | grep 143" (or whatever port you're having difficulty with). This command will tell you the ports that are open and what processes on the machine are using them. "netstat -anp" will work on older versions of Linux, YMMV. Figured I'd throw this out there in case anyone else has a similar problem ;-) Glad you found yours quickly.
