This may have done the trick! The number of imap-login processes has been 
holding around 60 all morning. In case there is a problem in the future I 
tested the following script to truss the imap-login processes on Solaris:



for pid in `ps -ef | grep imap-login | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`; 
do
   truss -o log.$pid -p $pid &
done
sleep 20
kill `ps -ef | grep truss | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`



During testing I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, mostly just 
sleeping processes.

Thanks for the help everyone!
