First of all, thaks for the help, I'm making good progress. I looked in /var/log/mail/info and was able to figure out that I wasn't using the right auth module, so I changed it over to authdaemond (for now) and restarted imap but now I'm getting login failed like this:

Jan 31 12:12:44 myserver imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:a.b.c.d]

where a.b.c.d is the ip address of my server

I looked in authdaemonrc and I think this has something to do with it.

##NAME: authmodulelist:0 # # The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond. The # default list is installed. You may selectively disable modules simply # by removing them from the following list. The available modules you # can use are: authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap

authmodulelist="authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap"

I haven't set up any of those modules, I was thinking of using authshadow until learn some more before I try and tackle adding a database. Doesn't look like it's on the list though, do I need to reinstall with different options or something?
