Hi Duncan, Also working with IMAP because I'm writing a webmail. Haven't met this problem before but if I were you, I'd consider the following steps
1) Check if the IMAP daemon is running. Type "nmap localhost" at your shell to see if IMAP daemon (port 143, and it appears as imap2 on my server) is running. If it's not running AND you're using UWash IMAP server, type "chkconfig imap on" to run it. For Cyrus, I think the procedure is the same though I dare not confirm. 2) If your IMAP daemon is still not running, maybe someone who shared your server accidentally misconfigured some files. You can re-install IMAP server. I suggest using RPM instead of compiling source. Download from rpmfind.net. That's the easier and hassle-free way. I don't think you need to re-configure PHP after installing IMAP, provided the PHP-IMAP extension is intact since your last successful attempt. Hope that helps. Anyway, are you using UWash IMAP server?
