I'm going to try your suggestions. But would an inconsistency in the

I just changed one account to match what you said you had (home and mail
pointing to the same directory) and I couldn't log in properly. With
SqWebMail I got the error "maildir_createmsg: cannot create temp file". With
kmail pop3 I got the error "pop3d: No such file or directory" in my log and
with kmail imap I got the error "Unable to open INBOX". Although in neither
case did kmail say it couldn't log in. It just gave me the errors listed
above. I don't know if you are seeing similar problems or not.
Anyway, let me know what I said fixes the problem. If not, then obviously
you're right - the problem lies elsewhere.
Jeff,
Thank you very much for this - it sure is helpful. Did you by any chance have a
look at the mail.log messages? Did it generate a "LOGIN FAILED" - especially for
the pop3 attempts?
But for now, I managed to break my courier installation, and are restarting from
scratch. My being new to Debian does not help a lot either. At this stage when
I
run "apt-get install courier-base" or "apt-get install courier-mta" it somehow
fails to configure the mta - a makedat error. Guess I'll have to figure out this
one first. Building from scratch also does not work
