Thanks Sam,

By "whatever you did before to create new accounts", do you mean Unix
passwd? I am on Red Hat Linux. 

I tried to disable other auth method by add --without-muduleName to
configure options, except authpwd. So I think Courier should pick authpwd. I
created a Unix user and tried login from IMAP I got:

* OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc.  See
COPYING for distribution information.
1 login suli1 password
* BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Maildir: No such file or directory
Connection closed by foreign host.

and maillog:

Sep 24 21:18:38 bwc-imap-01 imapd: LOGIN, user=suli1,
ip=[::ffff:10.101.85.33]
Sep 24 21:18:38 bwc-imap-01 imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory

When I do:
[root@bwc-imap-01 authlib]# ./authdaemon start
AUTHFAILURE

Can you be a little more specific on how to create a user and a mailbox for
the user? Because I have PostgreSQL installed, if I want to save auth info
in the database, how do I create a user? There should be some kind of admin
tools, right?

Thanks a lot for your help!


Su

The default configuration uses system accounts for authentication.  You 
will do whatever you did before to create new accounts.
