I am completely stuck with the setup of courier imap on my Suse 7.1, 
kernel 2.2.18. Finally, I was able to compile it (without authmysql, 
authpgsql, authldap, authpam, authdaemon) "make check" is OK. I followed 
all of the installation instructions carefully (compiling as user, 
installing as root with umask 022,make install, make 
install-configure..) I have started it using all possible combinations 
of "...libexec/imapd.rc start" and "..libexec/authlib/authdaemond start".

Now the daemon is running but not responding to the requests of the 
Email-Clients. I think the error is about the authentification-method, I 
have tried authpwd and authuserdb to mimic the behaviour of my old imapd 
(with complete setup as described on 
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html) I have set the correct 
IP (192.168.0.1, its only for holding message on my local network to 
ease moving between Mac and Linux) in imapd and the 
authentification-method in imapd and authdaemonrc. I have switched of 
the old IMAP server (which worked well but had problems with 
simultaneous access) from the inetd and restarted inetd (killall -HUP) 
and even removed the IMAP ports temporarily from /etc/services. The 
authdaemon program in the authlib directory only echoes "AUTHFAILRE". ps 
-A echoes couriertcpd, logger, and several instances of authdaemond.pla. 
Has somebody an idea, whats wrong with my setup?

The only hint, that the daemon is living on the correct port and theres 
"only" a problem with authentification: when I set the correct IP in 
imapd, the client (OE) immediately responds (Connection error). When I 
set another IP-Adress (fe 127.0.0.1), it takes minutes until the client 
says "server doesn't respond". So, Courier seems to be running but 
doesn't want to talk to me. :-( /var/log/messages only contains the 
start messages of authdaemond.plain (modules="authuserdb", daemons=5, 
modules changing for the different methods I tried: authuserdb, 
authuserdb, authshadow, authpwd) but absolutely no messages about failed 
logins.

I would be very happy, if somebody can help me,

thanks in advance,

Michael
