This version of imapd runs on both AIX v4.1 and v4.2.

Now, to use IMAP!
(1) You will need to be the root user.
(2) cp imapd /usr/sbin
(3) cd /usr/sbin
(4) chown root.system imapd
(5) chmod 755 imapd
(6) Add the following entries to /etc/inetd.conf.
   Just cut and paste, and save your change.
imap2    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/imapd   imapd
(7) Refresh the inetd daemon.
   refresh -s inetd
(8) Check to make sure that imapd is listening on port 143.
   netstat -a | grep imap
   You should see the following output from the netstat command:
tcp        0      0  *.imap2                 *.*                    LISTEN
(9) If you do not get this output from netstat, make sure the
   following entry is in /etc/services:
imap2           143/tcp                         # Interim Mail Access Pro. v2
   Then refresh the inetd daemon again and run the netstat test again.
(10) There is no configuration for imapd.  It uses sendmail and
    bellmail, so all you need to do is make sure that your users
    have accounts and passwords on your IMAP server machine.
(11) To test:
    Set up your IMAP client (Pine, etc.)
    Send some test mail to your imapid@IMAPserver:
    date | mail -v -s test imapid@IMAPserver
      where imapid is a valid account on your IMAP server
            IMAPserver is the hostname of your IMAP server
    On your client machine, enter your IMAP client software
    and check your mail!

It is that easy!
