Hello,

You have to make sure that imap is running through xinetd.

It says

xinetd: unrecognized service

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

Then you'll need to install it. Either via rpm or up2date.

rpm:
download the xinetd, and run:
rpm -ivh filename.i386.rpm

up2date:
up2date -u xinetd

Did you start the service or add it to the startup list and restart your server?
