What are you passing as the imap protocol string?  You probably need
/notls if you are not using ssl, and if you are using ssl then there
are multiple possible problems.

You should be seeing something in your system log files from the
imap server.  If not, then it might be a deeper issue (like firewall,
tcp_wrappers, service not running, etc).

Wouldn't hurt to post them.  But you system logs would also be interesting.

There are big imap differences between RH 7.2 (not updated) and RH 8.0
concerning things like tsl/ssl support.
