Hi Mike,
I sorta thought that someone on this list was running the imap server 
that comes with S.L..  It's not looking like it.
I currently haven't ever run it, so I don't know of any downfalls, but a 
quick google (RHEL 4 imap) turns up a few things.  It looks like they 
changed the actual imap server.

RedHat has a very brief blurb on it at

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/ch-email.html

It's a bit odd in that it also says "here's some other imap clients and 
servers" almost like they expect people to not use the default one that 
comes with RHEL.

I wish I was able to be more helpful.  I hope that gets you started.
