Hello Brent, I did a straight fowrard 'make install' for courier-imap in the ports directory. I configured it to use SSL. I have never installed fam manually, although it is possible that it got installed as a dependency with another port. So, i don't know why i'm the only one having issues :-) Thanks for your response. Google found a couple of articles in which ppl compained about fam errors in their maillogs. Apparently, fam (for some reason on my system, and theirs) needs to be running for use by courier-imap. Furthermore, for fam to be happy, portmap needs to be running. On starting these two services, the errors magically dissappeared. I would still like to know how i got into this situation though! All i got to do now, it seems, is start portmap and fam on system boot. I know portmap_enable="YES" in rc.conf does the trick, but what about starting fam?
