Subject: open inbox with imap, can't connect?

I just downloaded pine 3.91 for OS/2 and I'm trying to open my inbox
file at work with imap over a ppp link. The system admin's said they
installed imapd. When I try to open the INBOX with the inbox listed as
{machine.name}INBOX I get an error saying Can't connect to
machine.name: Refused (61). I have an account on that machine. What
else do I have to setup, or find out to make this work?

Can you ping the machine?  Try telneting the imapd port:
   telnet machine.name 143

To exit, use ^] and "quit".

Here is what I have:
personal-name      = Jamie Royer
user-id            = bm71569
user-domain        = themis.ag.gov.bc.ca
smtp-server        = is_pc01.themis.ag.gov.bc.ca
  -- This is my PC.  I am using IBM Warp Connect sendmail.  I customized
     my own "sendmail.rc" file to send all mail to a "hub" (the user
     domain).  Sys adm didn't want mail going directly to my PC.
inbox-path         = {themis.ag.gov.bc.ca/user=bm71569}INBOX
folder-collections = {themis.ag.gov.bc.ca/user=bm71569}/home/bm71569/mail/[]

Your sysadm would have modified:
   /etc/services
      imap	143/tcp		#Mail transfer
   /etc/inetd.conf
      imap	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/etc/imapd imapd
