I'm on suse 8.1 if that helps.
So you did start inetd, and it does have a line enabling imap/pop server?
I didn't do that...but the lsof -i shows cyrus imap and pop3 running and listening? unless the imapd from inetd on suse is for the uw-imap which i believe is the default.... I'll try starting it and see what happens.
--------------------lines from a typical /etc/inetd.conf # Pop et al # # pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d # pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd

You should pay attention th that warning about how insecure imapd is and only uncomment that line if you are willing to accept the risk.

These settings are for the UW-IMAP IMAP server. This does not have anything to do with Cyrus's IMAP. Actually you probably want to have them commented out. Do however make sure that /etc/services has IMAP and POP turned on. Try checking out the help file in the DOC directory. This will normally give you a clue on how to set it up. I wish I could help more, but I am using the same setup on SuSE 8.2. Have you setup users using Cyrus? Cyrus uses it's own user database, this way users do not have to have a shell account to have an email account. If you could post the following files I can try to help more: /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/imapd.conf Also, read up on SASL. This is what Cyrus uses to add users and to encrypt the IMAP user database. Hope this leads you down the right path! NeoFax
