Just remove the # in front of one or more of the lines in inetd.conf.
#pop-2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d
#pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
#imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
then /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
and you have instant pop and imap services. You may want to look into
getting the latest patches for these.
