[imp] Imp 2.2.6 (and previous) problem

[daniel huhardeaux]

Check your /etc/pam.d/imapd files if you are working with PAM
authentification. Try to connect by telneting your IMAP server port 143 (or
this one you are using) from himself. You must get welcome issue from IMAP
server. Then try to login with comand

0 login username userpassword

If evrything works fine, you will get message from server like OK login. If
you get it, it means that your authentification is working. If not, check
your files as explained above. To quit telnet, 0 logout.
