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.
