I have imap remarked out in the inetd.conf file, and imap-uw isn't installed. Out of 950 mailboxes, I currently have this message in 15 of them. Many were downloaded this morning, and have not been replaced. I will check again around 5 AM to see if there are more, and if not, then maybe it's something in particular with these user's configurations. Thanks for all the help so far.
