That message means that alpha6 does not have an IMAP service
installed.

imap comes with pine (and is made, when perl is made)
You must install ist on Your machine, add an entry in /etc/services
imap            143/tcp
and an entry in /etc/inetd.conf
imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/imapd         imapd
                                        (the path of the program)
