Yes I have checked that. imap-4.7c2-4mdk is installed. /usr/sbin/imapd 
exists and is executable.
I am also unable to use netscape's internal movemail program. It complains 
that the /var/spool/mail/ directory can not be written into to create lock 
file. It has permissions drwxr-xr-x with owner/group as root.mail.

This may also sound stupid, but are you sure you have an imap server
installed?  Check the path that xinetd is trying to execute when spawning
the process and make sure that there is something there.  Just because
xinetd (or inetd for that matter) knows how to interact with a daemon
doesn't necessarily mean it got installed.
