Upgraded from Warty to Hoary yesterday, and IMAP worked, but after
upgrading to Breezy today imapd is not running.

If I run it interactively as root:

    $ sudo imapd

    * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN] pompel.pilt.no IMAP4rev1 2003.339 at Mon, 27 Feb 2006 13:12:20 +0100 (CET)

I am still not able to connect to imap2 (143), imap3 (220) or imaps
(993) with telnet.  From lsof it also seems that no ports are open:

    $ sudo lsof -c imapd

If I reinstall uw-imapd I get the following message: 'WARNING: Port
"imap3" unselected in debconf but possibly handled locally'.  How do I
turn on imap3 (and imap4 and imaps) in debconf?

According to the release notes nothing has changed in uw-imapd since
2003, ie. before Warty, but the package and some of the dependecies
are rebuilt in between Hoary and Breezy.

How is imapd supposed to be run?  From inetd?  (netkit-inetd is
installed, not xinetd.)  There is no /etc/init.d/ scripts to start it.

To change to a different IMAP daemon is not what I want.  uw-imapd
have the functionality needed.
