Ah yes, as a general rule of thumb, the first error is the most important..

famd is the name of the fam daemon.  Just like imapd is the name of the
IMAP daemon

I had a similar problem a few weeks back.  At first I thought it was due
to a recent upgrade from 0.44.2 to 0.45.4cvs but it turned out that the
fam process was failing or just wasn't started or something.  A reboot
fixed it.  If you can't reboot the box at the moment try restarting
xinetd, famd and portmap.  Or you could edit /etc/courier/imapd and change
IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE to 0.  This will disable ENHANCED IDLE reporting which
may increase CPU load for IDLE clients but otherwise should be fine. 
Unless your box is under heavy load with a lot of clients it shouldn't
matter to much.
