make sure that your imap server is allowed to get connections from localhost
try
telnet localhost 143 for imap or 993 for imap over ssl

Here is what i get:

Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dovecot ready.

Sending mails is a SMTP issue, not IMAP.

Yick sendmail... Heres a tip, change to postfix, its a lot easier to configure and works very good. As for your send mail problem, sendmail must not know the right place to hand new emails off to. So make sure its sending the new emails to the right directory

dogbone:
Hey, you may use sendmail with dovecot.
But sendmail needs correct configration.
First you need enable sendmail to listen to the public interface by uncomment
This line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
To be
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Then you must compile sendmail to generate new sendmail.cf file
By running # m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail/cf

The second is to add your domain name in the local-host-names file in the /etc/mail
That all you want do to simply establish sendmail.
