This may sound stupid. But it is happening.
I have installed Mandrake 7.2 with High Security Setting.
I edited /etc/xinetd.d/imap file to change the line
disable = yes
to
disable = no
and then restarted xinetd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd reload.

Now when I use netstat I see that xinetd is listening on port 143.
But if I try to see my mail folders using netscape with IMAP setting
it reports error 'Can't connect to server'.
So I tried 'telnet localhost imap' and See following message.
-------------------------------------------
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
-------------------------------------------
That probably means, xinetd listens and responds to request on imap port but 
fails to spawn imap program. Am I right about this?
is there something I am not doing right?
Please help.

Thanks,
Amit
