Hi Sigmund,

You do not need a telnet server to do the "telnet test". You simply use
the telnet client to speak unencrypted protocols to any server. I.e., do
"telnet <somewhere> 25", and speak SMTP. Do "telnet <somewhere> 110",
and speak POP3.

Right conclusion.

Yes, if you installed the SSL service, which I guess you didn't.

It's in the FAQ:
# Copy, edit and perhaps symlink the configuration files:
* with daemontools:
o ln -s /etc/opt/bincimap/supervise/imap /service/imap
o ln -s /etc/opt/bincimap/supervise/imaps /service/imaps
* with xinetd:
o ln -s /etc/opt/bincimap/xinetd/imap /etc/xinetd.d/imap
o ln -s /etc/opt/bincimap/xinetd/imaps /etc/xinetd.d/imaps
o service xinetd restart
I guess you only did that with the "imap" service, but not with the
"imaps" service, right?
Which method did you use - daemontools or xinetd?
