[imp] Still can't login

[Admin C.Eisma]

Hello Alexander,

I use imap-4.5
imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  imapd 
on localhost

I did what you discribe, connecting with telnet on my box at port 143, 
but nothing much happent.
I also tried to try imap with my Netscape Messenger but it's just trying 
to contact my server and hangs forever.
It seems he will not accept any connections. If I portscan my server, 
143 is open
What should I do? What can I do? ;)

I  hope I gave you enough information to help.

Thank you,

Cesar Eisma
