Re: one last mail related question...

No. IMAP and POP3 are different services and use sperate daemons, which is
good. (I say this is good for personal reasons; "utility knifing" server
applications is generally not a great idea.)

OK, the above is a touch strange. I'd recommend manually attempting to use
the POP3 server via telnet. Here's an example manual POP3 connection:
bastion:~$ telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

See how far you're able to get. Can you log in? Can you read any messages?

As a man of ease, just edit the file by hand. Here's the pertaining lines
from my .cf:
bastion:~$ grep procmai /etc/sendmail.cf -2
##### @(#)local.m4 8.30 (Berkeley) 6/30/98 #####
