I just renewed my license thru a different distributor and now every 5 minutes I get e-mailed.

I did try this suggestion, but it didn't fix the problem:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/portsentry stop
restart imap
/etc/rc.d/init.d/portsentry start
You may need to restart xinetd as the second step if the above does not allow imap to restart:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

I took screen shots of my setup before the new license was installed, just in case. Everything but the "mail" zone. Currently that zone doesn't have an entry and I'm not sure what it should be.

Take a look in the '/etc/xinetd.d' folder, then see if there is an 'imap' file or a 'cpimap' file. Open whichever one that is there and check the 'server' line, change it to '/usr/sbin/imapd'. Save the file and restart xinetd.

The above is only a suggestion, but if you have "server = imapd", then changing it to /usr/sbin/imapd should make it work.

You know your stuff.
