The IMAP server binc (package bincimap) has its xinetd services defined as "imap" and "imaps" which do not exist in /etc/services. I suspect this might be the case with other IMAP servers as well. The fix mentioned by kpiche in the forums http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=4711 is simply adding an imap alias to the service imap2.

imap2 143/tcp imap # Interim Mail Access Proto v2
imap2 143/udp imap

In addition, Binc IMAP's FAQ http://www.bincimap.org/bincimap-faq.html#q18 mentions that SSL IMAP runs on port 993. The service "imaps" should probably be added to /etc/services on that port.
This task depends upon

In addition bincimap needs to be recompiled for OpenSSL 0.9.7. Thanks.

bincimap has been rebuilt with a new version: 1.2.7-1. Tell me if you have any more problems with it.

I updated my system and bincimap works without a hitch now.
