Jim, You need to apply the patch on a current source code tree and then build a new binary. To be able to do this you need certain tools. You can choose to build a whole new package or only the imapd executable. After you have installed the new binary, either a whole package or a single executable, you have an installation that differs from the "standard" distribution. You need to have that in mind every time you do an upgrade. If you're not comfortable with this, may be this isn't the right way to go for you. If you're still prepared to go this way and want to learn the steps, I can help you with some guidance outside this list. Besides, being new to unix and administering an unix-based email server isn't an ideal situation, but I hope you're already aware of this.
