Yes, these kind of comments shouldn't be there. I've used them only for
"temporary" FIXME-comments, so hopefully when they're all fixed there
are no more // comments.. :)

What sys/types.h errors?

Dovecot deletes the TZ environment (and everything else) before starting
imap process. Doesn't AIX use something similar to /etc/localtime?

Try running imap binary manually, eg.:

MAIL=~/Maildir /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap

and give it the commands to fetch INTERNALDATE (and set TZ if needed?).
If it works, maybe I'll start setting TZ for Dovecot's child processes.
