I never found out why this happened, but I found a way around it.  Today 
on my server I changed the firewall to allow everything in from my lan. 
After I did this, I am now able to access port 143 from my other 
computer running Mepis.  The strange thing is that before I made the 
change, I was able to access the IMAP server while running windows, but 
not while running Mepis.

Go figure.
