Tried this. Like I said I can see the message header just can't retrieve the
body. No matter what settings I use on my IMAP client I have this problem.
I'm sure there's something wrong on the AIX end of the deal.

Try going to /etc/inetd.conf and remove the comment in front of the line
that reads:
#imap2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/imapd imapd
Now type "refresh -s inetd" without the quotes and you should be good.

Subject: How Can I Enbale IMAP?
Hi Everyone,
It's been a really long time since I mailed this list so I guess I'm back to
newbie status!
I'm trying to enable IMAP on one of my RS6Ks (4.3.3.). I have made the
necessary changes to inetd.conf and refreshed inetd. Imapd is now listening
on port 143.
So I generated a few test mails to an account and configured Outlook Express
to connect to this imap server.
I connect successfully, I download the headers i.e. I see the sender address
and subject line. As soon as I try to retrieve the message body for reading
I am told that the message in no longer available on the server.
So the questions...
1. Does anyone have a definitive document which will tell me everything
I need to configure under AIX to get IMAP fully functional?
2. I suspect the problem has something to do with mail being in
/var/spool/mail/user and then saved in /home/user/mbox once it is "read" by
imapd - am I on the right track?
3. Anybody got a quick, cheap and dirty method for getting this to
work?
Thanks.
Paul Walsh.
