It sounds like the owner and group are wrong on your mail directories.
Courier will run with the UID/GID of the user who is receiving mail or
logging in.
To create the directories with the correct permissions, you should
login as the user who will own the maildir and then run the
maildirmake command. If you are using shell users from your
/etc/passwd, then each maildir will have a different owner. If you
are using virtual users (userdb, mysql, etc), then they will all
probably be the same.
Also, it looks like you are customizing the name of the maildir.
Courier expects the maildir to be "$HOME/Maildir" unless you have
changed the defaults in the config files.
