Subject: PCPINE for windows - Cant connect

I've been using Pine3.91 on my Sun workstation running Solaris2.3.
I was trying PCPINE for windows and got the following error:

Cant connect to piaget.moe.ac.sg.143: Refused <10061>

I tried to telnet to piaget.moe.ac.sg 143 but to no avail.

Must I run something at port 143? and what is it?
How do I run it in Solaris2.3?

Yes, you must run impad on port 143.

When you built pine the imapd would also have been built in the impad
directory.

You should move this file to someplace like /usr/local/bin and then make
an entry such as:

imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/bin/imapd    imapd

in your inetd.conf file.  After you do that you need to find the PID
of inetd and send simply do a kill -1 on that PID.  Then you should be
able to telnet hostname 143 and get a greeting similar to:

Connected to hobbes.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK hobbes IMAP2bis Service 7.8(92) at Mon, 7 Nov 1994 09:24:50 -0800 (GMT)

That's it....
