Did you try what Dennis suggested? i.e.:

You should do that from a terminal session on your computer. This  
will at least tell you if an IMAP server is responding on port 143 on  
that machine.

If you get some kind of reply back  (it may look like gobbledigook to  
you but you should at least see "connected to server_name") then you  
know that it's not a firewall/network problem.
