SquirrelMail fetches your mail using IMAP.  If you don't have an IMAP
server available (and this could be your ISP's IMAP server, it doesn't
have to be your own), SquirrelMail won't be much use.

> I enabled imap and impas through xinetd.d.

After you edited /etc/xinetd.conf, did you remember to restart xinetd?

>From what you've told us, I'm under the impression you're wanting to use
your own local IMAP server.  When you ran the config utility, did you set
the IMAP server host to "localhost", port 143?

When you type 'telnet localhost 143' at the command prompt, do you get
'connection refused'?
