Two places to look.
As root do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" and watch treh message as
you try to connect. You will see somehing like:
Dec 3 07:32:56 cypci319 imapd[11168]: imap service init from <ip>
This tells you that imapd is really starting.
In another window do "tail -f /var/log/maillog" and look at the
messages when you try to connect. If impad is startes\d you
will see someting like:
Dec 3 07:32:56 cypci319 imapd[11168]: imap service init from <ip>
Dec 3 07:33:00 cypci319 imapd[11168]: Authenticated user=<user>
This will help dignose problems with the connection.
