Depends on the OS. If you use xinetd you should edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/imap
If you use inetd you should edit the file /etc/inetd.conf

xinetd will have something like 

service imap
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/imapd
        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        disable                 = no
}

make sure the disable line is set to no

inetd.conf will have something like

imap stream  tcp     nowait  root /usr/sbin/imapd imapd 

make sure this line is uncommented
i.e. no # mark at the start
