I appreciate your choice in IMAP servers. :)

`ps aux' doesn't show which ports are in use. For that, you should use
the most wonderful sockstat(1). Running something like this should show
you the "Address already in use" culprit:

'sockstat -4 | egrep ":143\W"'

Exactly what the error message says: the address is already in use.
Trust error messages: they're almost never wrong, especially when
they're straight from libc.
