What happens if you log in as the user whose IMAP session you tried to open, and do:

$ date && touch test && stat test

Dates were identical. The output gave me the clue to the problem, though. There were two users with same UID on the system. The output of stat revealed that. When I added a new user with an unique UID login succeeded.

Perhaps there should be some additional sanity check so that Courier would not blame clock skew in similar cases? UID mismatch must have affected to creation of a test file. The other user with same UID did not have a Maildir. When I tried to login directly with that username, Courier said "BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Maildir: No such file or directory".

Thank you for your help to solve the problem.
