First things first, check to see if UW-IMAP is running. To do this,
at a shell prompt, type:
# telnet localhost 143
That'll tell you right away if UW-IMAP is running or not. If it
accepts the connection, then you need to run the conf.pl script in
the config directory under squirrelmail to make sure you have the
configuration pointing to the right location.
If the UW-IMAP server isn't running (if I remember correctly, RH
runs it from xinetd), check the configurations and make sure it is
running. These are normally located in /etc/xinetd.d/ and is
usually called imapd (or even just imap). Open the file in your
favourite editor (my case pico) and check for the disable (or
disabled) line, and make sure it says no. If it doesn't, change it,
save it, and restart xinetd. This can be done as such:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Now try the telnet command as above again, and repeat :)
