Why not? The stock toaster does by default.
Is the service running?
Is the port open? (firewall?)
Can you telnet to it from the inside? Outside?
You need to check these things. More than likely an external router
isn't forwarding that port.
Are you using dovecot instead of courier for imap? If your users have
large mailboxes, you should strongly consider it.

I can telnet in port 143 from inside and outside the server. I just cannot
get logged in. It is like it is not accepting my password for some reason. I
have checked the imap4 and imap4-ssl logs and am not even seeing the
attempt. As soon as I change my port on the client side to 993 it works
perfectly. Here is my dovecot config:
## Dovecot configuration file
# Base directory where to store runtime data.
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle
# Protocols we want to be serving: imap imaps pop3 pop3s
# If you only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none".
protocols = imap imaps
##
## Logging
##
log_path = /dev/stderr
info_log_path = /dev/stderr
log_timestamp = ""
##
## SSL settings
##
#ssl_disable = no
ssl_cert_file = /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
ssl_key_file = /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW
verbose_ssl = yes
##
## Login processes
##
login_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login
login_user = dovecot
login_process_per_connection = yes
login_processes_count = 3
login_max_processes_count = 128
login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c
##
## Mailbox locations and namespaces
##
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}
##
## Mail processes
##
verbose_proctitle = yes
first_valid_uid = 89
last_valid_uid = 89
##
## Authentication processes
##
disable_plaintext_auth = yes
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5
passdb vpopmail {
args =
}
userdb vpopmail {
}
user = vpopmail
count = 1
ssl_require_client_cert = no
}
## END
Thanks,
Scott
