I am trying to read a remote inbox from my Linux machine.
I am using PPP to make the connection to the mail server.
I get error messages such as:

server, 143:connection refused

How do I start to debug this problem?
How do I verify that IMAP is running on the
mail server?

This message means that the server system is not running an IMAP server.
"Connection refused" means that you tried to connect to a TCP port (143 is
the assigned port for IMAP) that has no server listening.

So, the first step to debug the problem is to negotiate with the server
system's management to run an IMAP server.
