the wu-imap package (package imap on wbel) which contains imapd and
ipop3d does not support running in daemon mode unfortunately. if you
want an imap/pop server that will run in daemon mode you should look at
cyrus, courier, or dovecot. I personally use cyrus imapd RPMS from
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/ and the cyrus sasl rpms
from http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-sasl/ (use the RH9
src.rpm).

There are precompiled dovecot RPMS on dag wieers' website
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ though I have not used dovecot
before.
