what do i have to do to get IMAP to work?


i installed the RPM on my Mandrake CD that was labelled imap-2001a-mdk.i586.rpm or something like that. a guy from my other thread says that is IMAP and POP3.

what do i have to do to get that to work? like where are the configuration files (if any)?


***edit***

ok well i got it working
service xinetd stop
service imap start
service xinetd start

i test it and MY EMAIL WORKS!! this is fantast but still are there any configuration files?
btw, i setup my email account on Mozilla as IMAP and it works great....is POP3 any different from IMAP?

POP3 is a protocol for accessing and downloading messages to your local computer.
IMAP downloads the headers and only retrieves the message you select / click on.
