imap              143/tcp    imap4                  #Internet Message 
Access Protocol

Nope, but when I ask folks for help on something, they often want to 
know what my overall goal is, so that they might help me out better.

Yeah, I learned that over time the hard way. I have to redefine HOME to 
a space-less symbolic link pointing to my true HOME.
