Re: IMAP and MailBox formats

I have built and installed courier imapd and authlib, but am still  
having trouble.

When I run imapd I get this:

% /usr/local/libexec/imapd Maildir
* PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX- 
REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES  
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] Pre-authenticated user mankoff  
parma.local IMAP4rev1 2004.357 at Thu, 9 Aug 2007 15:24:02 -0400 (EDT)

But if I try to connect
% telnet localhost 143

I get a connection error. I've opened 143 on my firewall but I don't  
think that is necessary as this is a 127.0.0.1 connection, and I  
still cannot connect.

   -k.
