Washington IMAP on SuSE 9.0

I'm trying to get the Washington IMAP server going on SuSE 9.0, but don't seem to be able to log in. I have it enabled in the /etc/xinet.d/imap and nmap shows port 143 open. However, whenever I try to connect with a mail program, login is refused. Using telnet to port 143 returns: "Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] linux.home IMAP4rev1 2003.338 at Sun, 27 Jun 2004 17:25:29 -0400 (EDT)" Any ideas? tnx jk
