[SLE] suse 9.3 imap + postfix

greetings,

(thanks to sandy for helping me to the point of getting the mail in
and not loosing any post during the transition)

as i am still in the process of getting my mail system configured,
one of the reasons why i havent finalized my postfix configuration
is because is my current priority is to get imap to work with
postfix.

ive tried imap-cyrus but deduced it was a bit too much as each time
i create a user account, i would have to create a separate mailbox
on cyrus,

imap-courrier uses MailDir which is not my current option untill i get
my hardware upgraded as MailDir is I/O intensive on the harddrive.

so im trying to use the basic imap package. my prob is that
after isntalling the package, i enabled the imap and pop under xinetd
and then tried to telnet to port 110 and manually test functionality

unfortunatelly the attempt fails as you can see bellow, any ideas why?
btw this is the same with the imap port 143

telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 localhost 2004.89 server ready
user XXXXXX
-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command


regards
RP
