You might see if the service is running - I think it's called 
'courier-imap'. Check for it in:

/etc/rc.d/init.d

Then issue the command:

service courier-imap status

If it's not running, then type:

service courier-imap start

Also, if you want it to start when the computer starts type:

chkconfig --add courier-imap

You can double check it's been added by going into the network services via:

setup

Then choose 'System Service' and make sure courier-imap is checked. 
There's also a Gnome interface into services:

redhat-config-services


Also, check your logs. /var/log/httpd/error_log, /var/log/messages, 
/var/log/maillog
