This indicates that the IMAP server was unable to acquire memory with a
malloc() call. Since the mailbox is "???" that means that no mailbox is
open.
This suggests some problem on the host system. Perhaps a huge message in
frank2's mailbox could have caused it, but without a mailbox open at all,
that seems unlikely. It seems that this occurred at startup.
You may want to check the configuration on the host system. One
possibility is that your host system has very limited swap space, and is
cutting off memory allocation to programs prematurely.
Also, if you are running imap-2000, note that this is not the current
version. The current release version is imap-2001a, on:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
There is also a development snapshot of imap-2002 on:
