I would like to run a mail service similer to yahoo or hotmail. I am going to use IMP webmail. I would like users to be able to register on their own and I would like it to be the IMAP protocol. How would I do this? What scripts and mail server should I use?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about having users sign up on their own, make sure that is what you really want to do. Are you using Maildir format? For imap I use courier-imap. Binc also supports Maildir.
I have written a script for myself which automatically creates users on the server which have no ssh, ftp etc. It is probably not very secure, but the site I use it on barely gets any visitors anymore... I was unable to get the Qmail, Vpopmail, Vqsignup to work.
