Or should I just fix the script manually and look elsewhere for the IMAP connection problems?
You can't really predict the consequences of what happens if a software package does not get built correctly.
So, rather than to figure out how to fix every little problem that's caused by that, it makes more sense to properly uninstall the incorrectly built package, to whatever degree it's possible, and then rebuild it correctly.
This is why it's always recommended to use your Linux distribution's packaging platform to build and install software, instead of compiling and manually installing it. It makes it much easier to uninstall something.
