Same issue here on GNU/Linux Ubuntu 14.04, which is due to this bug:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10663

Use these steps and it will work:

perl -c imapsync
#imapsync syntax OK
pod2man imapsync > imapsync.1
mkdir -p /usr/bin
install imapsync /usr/bin/imapsync
chmod 755 /usr/bin/imapsync
mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man1
install imapsync.1 /usr/share/man/man1/imapsync.1
chmod 644 /usr/share/man/man1/imapsync.1
