Now I am trying to implement Fetchmail + Dovecot at Server level and
outlook Exp at user.

While checking IMAP folder through OE at server, it ask for the u/n and
p/s at 172.16.251.234, on giving password it gives following error:

Configuration:
Account: 172.16.251.234
Server: 172.16.251.234
User name: arunsh
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 143
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc03

I think there is some problem with mode of u/n and p/w, can anybody
help me

I can't help, I'm afraid, as I don't use Outlook.
(Is that under Windows?)

But it seems to me more probable that the problem lies with Outlook
than Dovecot.
I use kmail, and I give my username and password there.

If it were Linux, I'd try telnet to see if you get a connection.
But I don't know the equivalent under Windows.
Under Linux I get:
---------------------------
[tim@carrie ~]$ telnet www.gayleard.com 143
Trying 86.43.71.228...
Connected to www.gayleard.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

I am having one linux client also, I have tried your command which says
dovecot is working perfectly as follows :
arun@ITQS - Arun:~$ telnet 172.16.251.234 143
Trying 172.16.251.234...
Connected to 172.16.251.234.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot ready.

I have tried to connect Dovecot through Evolution on that client which
gives following error :

Unable to authenticate to IMAP server
IMAP command failed. Authentication failed.

That makes me suspect authentication problems
