You can turn imap off, I think active-monitor will complain, but you can turn 
that off also.

 Ican't find original post but this is what I use

Turn off IMAP: (thanks to shimi on the cobalt-security list)
 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:
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet hard-restart
 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.
