Hi, Gregg,

     Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  Yesterday was rebuild 
the server date.  If you do: "telnet icarus.cc.uic.edu 143", you'll see 
the response from the IMAP server.  I no nothing about your university, 
but I no that edu institutions are adopting the IMAP protocol a bit 
faster than the public ISPs.  So I did a telnet to confirm it and 
reported.  Oh, cool!  I see that it also supports ssh.  You can most 
likely use it to encrypt your fetchmail sessions.  Try adding this line to 
your .fetchmailrc
	       plugin "ssh %h /usr/sbin/imapd" auth ssh;

This assumes that the imapd executable is in the usual place on the 
server.  You'll be prompted for the password, just like in an ssh session.  
To automate the process, you can generate a public and private key pair and 
put the public key on the server.




          HTH.
          Bill
