Doing that doesn't make any sense, of course: Clients connecting to
listen_port (where imapproxy will listen) will be proxied to
server_port (where your imapd should listen).

It shouldn't work in both cases. Either you're mistaken and it doesn't
actually work in the 993 case either, or possibly something to do with
how your courier imapd is being started in your environment (tcpd),
