Using wildcards will help you find whether an imap server or inetd is 
installed.

What does dpkg -S /usr/sbin/imapd say?  You can see whether you have an 
inetd running and whether tcpd or imapd are installed.  If they are, 
look at their config files and logs.  Maybe they aren't configured 
correctly and don't actually run.

There are several imap servers available for Ubuntu:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/warty/virtual/imap-server

and you might need a separate package to do imaps.
