I see this too. The server is running RH6.2 w/ the following imapd:

48 lurch->% grep imapd /etc/inetd.conf
imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
49 lurch->% rpm -qf /usr/sbin/imapd
imap-2000-2.6
50 lurch->% rpm -qi imap-2000

Summary     : Server daemons for IMAP and POP network mail protocols.
Description :
The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet
Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access
protocols.  The POP protocol uses a "post office" machine to collect
mail for users and allows users to download their mail to their local
machine for reading. The IMAP protocol allows a user to read mail on a
remote machine without downloading it to their local machine.

Install the imap package if you need a server to support the IMAP or
the POP mail access protocols.
