    Hi,

    I struggled with this when setting up too.

    I added an override to the systemd unit file,

    $ systemctl edit mailutils-imap4d.service

    inserting,

    [Service]
    PIDFile=/run/imap4d.pid

    and editing /etc/mailutils.conf to contain

    pidfile /run/imap4d.pid

    I still see

    May 28 07:54:27 hostname systemd[1]: mailutils-imap4d.service: Can't open PID file /run/imap4d (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

    but have ..

    $ ls -l /var/run/imap4d.pid
    -rw-r----- 1 root mail 5 May 28 07:54 /run/imap4d.pid

    the service starts nonetheless.

    Regards,
    Scott.
