I had this working when exim was running under Cygwin on my XP box. I 
have since moved exim and imap over to a Linux box.

Are you sure that the imapd is responding? Try "telnet localhost imap". 
Does it respond?

Do you have email in /var/mail/<username>? Send yourself and email. 
Check exim's log file to insure it was delivered. Check 
/var/mail/<username> to make sure it was dropped in your inbox. Check 
that the imapd service "answers the call".

You might also check to see if POP is working...
