The dkimap4 and dkpop3 daemons should be invoked by your /etc/inetd.conf file
with lines such as:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root %%PREFIX%%/libexec/dkpop3 dkpop3
imap4 stream tcp nowait root %%PREFIX%%/libexec/dkimap4 dkimap4
You also need to set up PAM properly, as PAM is enabled by default. Use
something like this in /etc/pam.conf:
pop3 auth required pam_unix.so
pop3 account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
imap auth required pam_unix.so
imap account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
