How can I check that I have IMAP support?

To check the php installation IMAP support, make a page that says only:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And look for something to the effect of "IMAP4R1 Support" in the output.
Don't confuse it with an "imap" that may be mentioned in the apache
section (mod_imap) - that's for imagemaps.

To check if your mail server supports IMAP, simply try telnetting to
port 143 of your mail server (or any other likely machine). If you see
something similar to:

* OK darius.cyrusoft.com Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.2 server ready

then you're set.
