sure it's an answer - postfix doesn't provide imap or pop3 mail delivery

It's somewhat expected that you know what an imap server is and how to
connect to it.

IMP is an imap client - just like Outlook/Outlook
Express/Thunderbird/Mozilla/Eudora/etc.

if you can connect to your imap server with one of those, you shouldn't
have any trouble connecting with IMP

if you can login via telnet...

telnet localhost 143

then you should know how to configure IMP

IMP couldn't care less which IMAP server you use, which MTA (Postfix in
your case) you use, where your users and passwords are stored, only that
you can connect via IMAP protocol.

If that's not understandable, perhaps you need to learn more about your
IMAP server first - the reason that Jan's answer was an answer was
simply that you are expected to understand what an IMAP server is and
how to connect to it.
