Hi, David.

Did you try netstat?

$ netstat -plet

This will tell you who is listening on all TCP ports on your system. Look
for 993 or "imaps". This could give you a clue as to whether somebody else 
is occupying the port. You can also look at supervise's "helpful" log 
output to the process view display. If you run "ps faxwww", you'll see 
some debug output from supervise that usually gives some clues.

Otherwise, I usually try running the service manually, but executing the 
"run" bash file as root. If this fails to start the service, or gives no 
clues, I do an strace:

$ strace -o dump -s 1024 -f ./run

The strace output usually reveals the culprit.
