Lars, Thanks for reply. I'm frankly lost here. Like another user post from this morning, I've read thru docs and have not found how to configure this thing.

My server is a carbon copy of what worked on my laptop so user mail accounts setup that is exim, procmail, fetchmail, etc. all work and will retrieve my mail from 4 accounts.

Where do I setup accounts for Courier to read, i.e., username and password for authentication.

If I setup an IMAP account in my mail client, it fails with password authentication. Marvin

It depends how you would like courier imap to work. One way would be to create accounts in the Linuxbox and have Maildir in the users homedirectories and let this be your existing Maildir. /Lars

New to IMAP not Linux.

OBJECTIVE: Want my server to be able to receive mail and forward to other machines on LAN or that my log in; suggested I setup an IMAP server in lieu of trying to writing exim or procmail forwarding rules. Attempting to get it running right now on the following equipment server (reading thru the docs but have 2 questions):

SYSTEM: Libranet 2.8 (Debian 3 - sarge) exim-tls 3.35-3 #MTA spamassassin 2.55-2 procmail 3.22-7 fetchmail 6.2.1-1 razor-agents-sdk-2.03 razor-agents-2.22 dcc-dccproc-1.1.36 evolution 1.2.3-2 #MUA, mail-client

courier-authdaemon_0.39.1-1 courier-base_0.39.1-1 courier-doc_0.39.1-1 courier-imap-ssl_1.4.3-3.3 courier-imap_1.5.1-1 courier-ssl_0.37.3-3.3

I have a simple server with two NICS, eth0 202.44.168.xxx and eth1 lan (192.168.1.1) to which my notebook (192.168.1.252) and another machine (192.168.1.253) are connected.

The server has been configured to do: fetchmail --> procmail --> spamassassin (using razor & dcc rules) into mail boxes (maildir format)

Exim is not shown in the loop as I only use it to send the mail out using its smarthost feature as procmail is doing the final delivery.

Q. Where do I configure courier for username and password? (There are six files in /etc/courier

Q. Will it use my exiting ~/Mail folder which is in maildir format?

Thanks Marvin
