its confirmed:
[root@azrael root]# chkconfig --list | grep -i imap
        imap:   on
        imaps:  on
[root@azrael root]# 


and i restarted the xinet.d service several times

[root@azrael root]# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
[root@azrael root]# 

and i do this and still no response
netstat -apn | grep 0.0.0.0:143

any ideas
