I don't see anything about starting there or in fam(1M) other than =20
"if fam is started by inetd".

/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap/Makefile says fam is disabled by default:
OPTIONS=3D OPENSSL "Build with OpenSSL =20
support" on \
FAM "Build in fam support for IDLE =20
command" off \
DRAC "Build in DRAC =20
support" off \
TRASHQUOTA "Include deleted mails in the =20
quota" off \
GDBM "Use gdbm db instead of system =20
bdb" off \
IPV6 "Build with IPv6 =20
support" on
I suspect but haven't been able to prove fam is somehow running, if =20
only as a library linked to imapd. When Mail.app has "connection" =20
problems its instantly disconnected but sometimes a few messages get =20
thru. Sometimes a simple ssh to the FreeBSD machine, mutt to view the =20=
mailbox, close it with messages now tagged as old, is all it takes =20
for Mail.app and courier-imap combination to be happy.
