I don't know if you figured this out yet, but I just ran into this
problem myself and here's how I fixed it.

the "bind: Address already in use" means something is already bound to
the imap port (143).

So here's my advice.

Go into /etc/init.d and stop all the courier services.

Then run the following:
# nmap -p localhost | grep 143
This will tell you if anything is bound to port 143, and if you're still
getting the above errors you described then that should be true.
Now run:
# lsof -i tcp:143
This will tell you what process has bound to port 143, in my case it was
"portsentry".

All I had to do to fix everything was stop the portsentry service,
restart all the courier services and restart the portsentry service.

Everything now works fine.
