Passwords can be changed via webmail, with some additional setup. They can be stored encrypted, however you must realize that fundamental laws of this universe will not allow you to use hash-based authentication via IMAP when encrypted passwords are used. The server must have password in plain text, in order to be able to recalculate the hashes.

Ok, I assume however I can use plain text password over SSL/TLS, right?

What do you mean by a mailbox. If you mean a mail folder, they can use any IMAP client, of course, or sqwebmail.

Well no, my fault, I mean they must be able to create an account along with its base maildir without needing a shell access.

That's what you'll have with virtual shared folders.

Any pointer to something explaining what virtual shared folders are and how to make them with courier?

What you won't have with Courier is all the account provisioning functionality. Courier has no account provisioning functionality. Rather, it's configurable to pull account metadata from alternative options, starting with /etc/password, and ending at a replicated LDAP server; however how the accounts are provisioned and new mailboxes get created are out of scope,

Does that mean, assuming a sql backend, that, once a new account has been added in the users table, someone has to manually issue the maildirmake command in a shell? If so, are you aware of any third party web interface that takes care of account provisioning for courier?
