I just managed to get courier-imap compiled and installed with vchkpw
support (doing this as a debian package took some work!), and now it's still
not working. It appears to be authenticating okay, but then won't give me a
list of folders. Outlook Express reports this error:
Your account is temporarily unavailable (+t bit set on home directory).
And my syslog says:

Any ideas? vchkpw/vpopmail has been working very well for some time with
pop3 and sqwebmail, so I know that's not the issue. And I am pretty sure it
compiled correctly, but I could always be wrong. Any help would be
appreciated!
Your account is locked, so that you can edit mail delivery instructions
safely without losing mail (it's deferred until the lock is removed).
This is mentioned in courier/doc/local.html, and described in more detail
in qmail's man page for dot-qmail, under "SAFE QMAIL EDITING".
Make sure nothing is editing your mail delivery instruction files, then do
chmod -t $HOME
to release the lock.
