Dunno if it does or not, but if not go to ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/
and get the Washington University IMAP server. There may or may not be a
precompiled version there yet, but compiling it shouldn't be hard. We use this
one (under Digital Unix) and have never had any problems. It supports both
IMAP and POP3 protocols.
