Again, remove that package, it is vulnerable. I can't judge whether you
need the feature set of Cyrus-IMAPd or whether you better live with the
IMAP server FC4 ships: dovecot. From what I see about your current
skills level (not offending!) you better choose dovecot. It at least has
the same capabilities as the IMAP server you have installed following
the "howto" instructions.

1) remove imap
2) install dovecot
