weird pop/imap problem

Hello,

I'm using IMP 2.3 to connect to my mailserver.  My mailserver is built from qmail, and I use Maildir mailbox.  I have both IMAP and POP servers installed to retrieve my mail, Courier-IMAP and qmail-pop3d respectively.  I connect to both IMAP and POP alternately, just to test functionality of the folders and filters.  It worked for a while, but now, everytime I specify to connect to the IMAP server (by selecting IMAP and port 143), it doesn't and instead connects to the POP server.  

I can use it, but since it connected to the POP server I can't use folders.  I've seen in /tmp/imp.log that when I select IMAP and the port to 143, it still connects to port 110, the POP server.  I know that the IMAP server is still running (from ps ax|grep imap and when I telnet to mailhost 143 I get the IMAP prompt).  Although this only seems to happen when using my test account.  When I use another account and connect to the IMAP server, it connects to port 143 (the IMAP port).  What could be the problem?
