Imap Problems

[Mailing Lists]

I am in the process of setting up squirrelmail on a RedHat 9 server. I 
have the following installed.

squirrelmail-1.2.11-1
httpd-2.0.40-21.9
php-4.2.2-17.2
imap-2001a-18


netstat -l | grep imap shows that it is listening

tcp        0      0 *:imap                  *:*                   LISTEN


The problem is that I cannot telnet to localhost (or from anywhere else) 
to port 143. Everything seems to be running but imap does the following 
when i attempt to connect.

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.


I have googled and found other issues with imap, but cant pin this 
problem down. Any ideas?
