: Hi all,
: What are the steps to configure imap on my server?
:
: I already enable imap and pop3 on the inetd.conf file, created a folder
: called "mail" on my account and restarted sendmail.
:
: I already tried to configure my e-mail client to connect to my server but
: says cannot find imap server blah, blah blah.

Here's an easyone: did you HUP inetd ('/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd reload')?

If that doesn't work, try to telnet from the client to the server's port.  I
don't recall the ports... 'grep -i pop /etc/services' or 'grep -i imap
/etc/services'.

If you can connect, then it's either a client misconfiguration or the deamon
is misconfigured.

If you cannot connect, then that's your problem: either the service isn't
running or something's preventing a connection (e.g., hosts.deny).
