OS is OS X Intel

netstat shows nothing is active on 143.

I'm pretty sure imapd is listening on 127.0.0.1 because it says so. The
above command I ran was the system imapd (sorry 'bout that). When I run the
courier-imap I get this:

$ /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd Library/Mail
* PREAUTH Ready.
INFO: LOGIN, user=mankoff, ip=[127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP

But still get this w/ telnet:

$ telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

I have managed a partial work-around which is to use the PostfixEnabler OS X
program. That provides UW-imap (which I think doesn't work with Maildirs)
and when activated I can telnet to 143. I activated this program but
replaced the config files to run the courier-imap program. It appears to
work, based on ps. Now when I run alpine I get this message:

> Opening "INBOX"
>  Unable to open this mailbox.

   -k.
  -k.
