Although apt-get kept reporting sqwebmail was not available, I was finally able to locate it on the Debian FTP server.

Ah, well that might explain the problems. If sqwebmail doesn't come from exactly the same package repository that you used for everything else, then it's quite likely that it won't talk to your authentication daemon; it may expect the socket to be in a different directory, for instance.

Indeed very correct. I have SqWebMail running on Debian. And I too initially had problems getting the login to work on SqWebMail. What solved it for me was to download the newest source for both SqWebMail and courier-authlib, and compile and install it. Almost everyting on that server is installed with apt-get, (or actually aptitude) but to make SqWebMail work I gave up using the .deb packages and did it the old fashion way. The trouble doing it this way is of cource that now I will need to keep an eye out for updates to these packages, and install them manually myself, while everything else on the server can be upgraded by a simple "apt-get upgrade"-command.

I have to say I'm learning to despise Debian.

Thats your right, feel free to despise. It's a bit sad though, that you should start your meeting with Debian with this problem. (Debian and SqWebMail might not be the biggest of lovers). I have happily been running Debian on several production servers for many years. Very stable. Very secure. I love it!
