Turns out it was the update of baselayout to ~x86. I went back to the stable version (boy, I don't think I'd do that again, cause downgrading sure screwed a bunch of other things up) and sure enough, courier-imap worked properly. Instead of fixing the other things that broke with the downgrade, I just updated baselayout to ~x86 again, and then emerged the latest ~x86 version of courier-imap, and all is still well. Thanks for you help, John
