xinetd liston imap port? Dovecot can't start

[iprodua]

Dovecot can not start

/etc/init.d/dovecot start
Starting dovecot: If you have trouble with authentication failures,
enable auth_debug setting. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork
This message goes away after the first successful login.
Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 143) failed: Address already in use

And

netstat -pln |grep xinetd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:143                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      30328/xinetd

What is xinetd and why it use 143 port?

After removing /etc/xinetd.d/imap all look fine (now port is free and dovecot can start), is it correct?

You honestly dont need xinetd running. Its probably running vmpop3d.

Type:

/sbin/service xinetd stop
/sbin/chkconfig xinetd off
/sbin/service dovecot start
