[I found this someplace, it works]
 #vi or pico /etc/inetd.conf
 (do a search for imap and comment out this line:)
 #imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
 Restart the inet server:
 # killall -HUP inetd
 # vi or pico /usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/services/services.cgi
 Change this line:
 $ret=Cobalt::swatch::swatch_set_service_on("imap");
 To this:
 $ret=Cobalt::swatch::swatch_set_service_off("imap");
 Now go into the GUI's Control Panel and just hit the 'Save Changes' button.
 This keeps Active Monitor from grumbling about IMAP being turned off.

444 is admserv
