Running non-SSL IMAP on Engarde

I have been trying to run the imap service from xinetd, however I just get the following (if I telnet to the port)

[root@redhat-server /root]# telnet engarde 143
Trying 172.20.1.25...
Connected to engarde.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

THis is from the /var/log/auth.log May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[600]: START: imap pid=603 from=172.20.1.30 May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[603]: USERID: imap OTHER :root May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[600]: EXIT: imap status=0 pid=603 duration=0(sec)
(also mirrored in login.log)

And from /var/log/messages May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[600]: START: imap pid=603 from=172.20.1.30 May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[603]: USERID: imap OTHER :root May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[603]: execv( /usr/sbin/simap ) failed: Bad address (errno = 14)
May 21 17:19:18 engarde xinetd[600]: EXIT: imap status=0 pid=603 duration=0(sec)

I am wrong in just running the simap without stunnel? Will that work? - is it the WU-Imap service?

I am using the following config file located in /etc/xinetd.d

[root@engarde xinetd.d]# more imap

# default: off
# description: The IMAP service allows remote users to access their mail using # an IMAP client such as Mutt, Pine, fetchmail, or Netscape # Communicator.
service imap
{ disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/simap log_on_success += DURATION USERID log_on_failure += USERID }

What I am trying to achieve is a webmail front end running on the engarde box.
Can anyone help?
Please ;-)
