Can't receive mail from Outlook

[nauseasadmin]

I am able to send and receive mail from my sun box with no problem and am able to send mail from my Outlook client but can't receive mail from my Outlook client. I configured Outlook Imap port 143 as Incoming server(Imap) and down where it says root folder path I have /var/mail/joeuser.
I get the following message within Outlook when I click on send.receive "Could not fetch new headers in the folder for Account Solaris Mail.error:unable to connect to server"

Any help would be most appreciated!

Seems like you aren't running the IMAP daemon on the server, or you have a firewall which is blocking it. //Daniel

Well I have the following line in my /etc/inetd.conf file
imap stream tcp no wait root /usr/local/etc/imapd imapd

And port 143 is pointing to my mail server on my firewall.
I also have this in my /etc/services file:imap 143/tcp imap2.
Funny thing is when I do a ps -ef|grep imapd, I get ps:illegal option --f

Please assist, relative newbie

the "ps: illegal option -- f" might be down to your $PATH setting. type "which ps" and make sure your not using the ps in /usr/ucb. hope it helps!
