The correct way to remove a service called "imap" is: cd /service/imap mv /service/imap /tmp svc -dx . log > The services were down. I started them with svc -u... > then I could connect.

If the down file is there, that means the service is "normally down" rather than "normally up", and that means the service won't start before you are ready. Removing it is fine, and probably what you want, but it wouldn't be advisable to install a program that starts automatically, perhaps with wrong settings that are insecure.
