DRAFT and INCOMPLETE

- Download the imapd server from Hobbes and unzip it somewhere

- create a directory to store the email files, for example c:\home\default\mail\username

- in \mptn\etc create an empty file named passwd and add to the inetd.lst file the line:

 imap tcp imapd

- configure inetd for autostart at system startup

- run the command pw2add and, when asked for home directory, specify the previously created one (in our sample: "c:\home\default\mail\username")

- copy the file imap.cmd to \TCPIP\BIN and edit it to reflect the imapd.exe location; comment the "set mailspool" line
