I built courier 0.47 (my current mail server is running that still)

option for the uid and gid, but I don't see it in the Installation
Guide for the current version.
There are configuration options '--with-mailuser=courier
No, there is no such configuration option for Courier that's documented in
Courier 0.52's INSTALL file. There was such an option in earlier versions
of Courier, but that function has been moved to the courier-authlib package.
Trying to pass random options to the configure script is never, never a good
idea. At best, nonexistent options will get quietly ignored. At worst,
you're going to interfere with the configure script's internal configuration
settings. Everything will seem to work, but after building and installing
you will begin encountering mysterious errors and malfunctions; you will
come here and complain, and a lot of people here are going to end up
scratching their heads, for no good reason, and wasting a lot of their time
running around in circles.
