Thanks for the help, I am running FreeBSD 6.4. The ldd and file commands
don't seem to work on this OS...

mail# ldd `which imapd`
ldd: imapd:: No such file or directory
ldd: Command: No such file or directory
ldd: not: No such file or directory
ldd: found.: No such file or directory
mail# file /var/imap/mailboxes.db 
/var/imap/mailboxes.db: Cyrus skiplist DB

I am also getting the following, so I'm sure this has something to do
with version. Imapd server starts, but all these errors and not able to
connect...

4.3 doesn't match environment version
