I'm using Courier-IMAP 4.4.0 in my servers.

You'll have to rebuild Courier without FAM support. This is done by uninstalling FAM completely before building Courier.
I don't know why people are having these issues with FAM. I've never experienced any sort of issues with FAM, on any one of my machines, even though one of them was initially Red Hat 4 (not Fedora 4, Red Hat 4), and has been upgraded over the years to the now-uptodate Fedora 12. For me, FAM, now Gamin, has always worked without issues. Never had any problems.
FAM support in Courier gets built only if the configure script sees FAM installed on your system. If you have FAM or Gamin installed, but the attempt to initialize the library fails, something is seriously and fundamentally broken. Your system is not stable. Some library or configuration file got overwritten, misconfigured, or corrupted.
On RPM-based distributions this often happens when stuff gets installed by manually compiling it and installing it, by hand, rather than building RPM packages proper, and installing them using rpm. When that happens, inter-package dependencies cannot be reliably tracked by rpm, and the system becomes unstable. Either core system components get overwritten by newer but incompatible versions of those components, or core components get removed even though other components may depend on them; in both cases due to rpm not being able to properly track dependencies of software that was not installed using rpm.
