IMAP setup on Red Hat 8.0

[Will Phipps]

I am a newbie having some problems getting IMAP/sendmail to work with RH 8.0. Can someone please steer me in the right direction? Here are some of my config files to give you an idea of what I have and haven't done.

********** /etc/xinetd.conf ************

#
# Simple configuration file for xinetd
#
# Some defaults, and include /etc/xinetd.d/

defaults
{
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
}

includedir /etc/xinetd.d

*******************************************************
*********** /etc/xinetd.d/imap **********************

# default: off
# description: The IMAP service allows remote users to access their mail using \
# an IMAP client such as Mutt, Pine, fetchmail, or Netscape \
# Communicator.
service imap
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
}


## After restarting xinetd I run:
$ getent services imap
## I get back:
imap 143/tcp imap2

## I then run:
$ netstat -an | grep 143
## and I DO NOT see the expected message for port 143
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
##
I do not see anything listening on port 143. Do you have any ideas as to what might be causing this problem? I already tried running "chkconfig imap on" and then restarting xinetd, but nothing changed.

Thanks in advance,
Will Phipps
