I pulled up the documentation for imapd and then tried another way to set
the permissions for /var/spool/mail, and now the error no longer occurs.
Apparently imapd needs those permissions to be able to lock the mail spool
it's writing to; otherwise it tries a 'back door' approach using
'etc/mlock' which consumes much more processor load. I did a 'cd' to
/var/spool and then did a 'chmod 1777 mail' to get the permissions
properly set, and the error message has not reappeared since.
