So obviously nothing is listening on the IMAP port. Have you made
the appropriate entry in /etc/inetd/conf? It must look like this:

imap4	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd

BTW, this is explained in the docs/BUILD document of the imap-uw
source distribution.

This is not a problem related to the IMAP daemon, but to the MTA
(sendmail if you haven't installed anything different).

So that's what the rest of the documentation is for.
