Sorry for the typo.  Make that 'the "imap" line', e.g.

$ grep imap /etc/services
imap              143/tcp    imap4                  #Internet Message Access Protocol
$

Since I was correcting the typo, might as well point to it:
<http://washington.edu/imap/c-client-list.html>, from the "mailing lists"
section of <http://washington.edu/imap/>
