How to stop the Imap Service

[topdog]

Hi,
I am on CentOS 5.4 running DirectAdmin 1.35.1. I cannot find an imap service to be able to restart, stop, or start if needed. Where would that service be?
Or is it maybe called da and a different name?

I believe the service that handles both POP3 and IMAP is Dovecot...

/etc/init.d/dovecot start
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

Thanks for the help.

Remember that stopping Dovecot also stops POP3. If you want to keep users from using IMAP but allow them to use POP3, then the best thing to do is block the IMAP ports externally. This of course will still allow webmail programs. If you don't want them, delete them, or their links.
