IMAP Fails but POP Works, Pls help?

[ukdvdr]

We have recently switched to a new dedicated server and decied to go for cpanel to administer it.

We cannot seem to get IMAP to work. IMAP come up green in WHM.

If I make an email account, it sends and receives fine in Outlook Express as POP3, when I change it to IMAP, it produces the following error message
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 143
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0f

Have trawled through these forums trying every suggestion I could find. (inc stopping and restarting xinetd via ssl, which returned the OK message)

My IMAP file is below, I would be very grateful for any suggestions. (We had a 3rd party install cpanel and a fourth party configure our server pre-migration, I think they may have missed something during configuration, Am willing to attempt any suggestions as I really need this IMAP to function). Tks in advance TERRY

{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}

Type netstat -lntp
