Hi all!

I can't get MS Outlook to connect to my new imap-uw server.

This is my first time with a mail server. The server is running FBSD 4.1. I
installed the imap-uw server from /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw. I got imap-2000a.
I ran make and then make install.

Sendmail is putting new mail into /var/mail/<username>. I can connect to
imapd from the server through telnet and login manually to imap. Then I can
do a LIST and I see the contents of my ~/home/<username> folder. Here is the
end of the list (the stuff before it is just the contents of my directory):

* LIST (\NoInferiors) NIL INBOX
. OK LIST completed
. logout

When I manually tell it to . SELECT "INBOX" it just hangs. When I try and
connect from Outlook it times out.

The only other strange thing is in the /var/log/messages file- the address
already in use lines. Here is the end of it:

Jan  8 19:52:14 alf su: john to root on /dev/ttyp0
Jan  8 19:53:04 alf ntpd[119]: time reset 0.320751 s
Jan  8 19:53:04 alf ntpd[119]: kernel pll status change 2041
Jan  8 19:59:07 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Jan  8 20:09:07 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Jan  8 20:12:42 alf su: john to root on /dev/ttyp1
Jan  8 20:19:07 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Jan  8 20:29:07 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Jan  8 20:35:43 alf su: john to root on /dev/ttyp2
Jan  8 20:39:06 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use
Jan  8 20:45:00 alf inetd[141]: imap/tcp: bind: Address already in use

One other point that might be significant is that I tried installing cyrus
right before this. I did pkg_delete it and did put sendmail.cf back to
normal.

Any ideas what is going wrong here?

Thanks,
John
