	You might want to check out the bugtraq archives at
http://www.securityfocus.com/ on IMAP problems and make sure that you are
properly secured. I've run IMAP for over a year and never had a problem
with it, but I do have it heavily firewalled. I get on average two
unauthorized connections to that port a week, but they don't get anywhere
thanks to ipfw. 

Good luck,

Doug
