pops and imaps are not defined as services on my machine (10.1.3), so I had to use the port numbers rather than the service names in the telnet commands. Does anyone else have these services (if you look in NetInfo Manager)?

  Nope: nothing doing in netinfo for imaps or pops in Netinfo Manager. It's a very strange (and *small*) list in there! You could probably just load the flat file /etc/services into net info using niload if it'll make life easier.
  
  That is, something like:
  
  % niload services . < /etc/services
  
  should cure that ailment.
  
  Cheers,
  Paul

  Pardon the pollution: you will of course have to authenticate yourself before running such a command. Just preface it with "sudo" in case that wasn't obvious...
