Yipe!!!! Trevin, you better shut down that server pronto, you may have just cooked your goose posting that here!!!!! The IMAP port as of a year ago is full of security holes and I understand several exploit scripts are out and about. You want to fetch the current IMAP sources and look in the "doc" directory for a file called SSLBUILD this will explain things. And get that old server replaced pronto or your going to get cracked into.
