Thank you for your reply.  I appreciate any help, as I'm pretty stumped.

Yes, I did.  The imap server isn't reporting a connection being made.  Nor does netstat, but it goes by pretty quickly.  I guess I could try getting iptables to log it.

I also tried getting the IMAP server listening on 127.0.0.1 to see if the default configuration would work.  Same error.

I'm suspicious because the logging is not generating a log file.  I wonder if it's even getting far enough to try.
