Thanks Mark,

I created a Unix account testuser1, and created maildir as
'/home/testuser1/Maildir'. How can the Unix account be matched to the
'Maildir'? 

I have PostgreSQL installed. Can you let me know how to set up
authentication against MySQL? I think MySQL is very similar with PostgreSQL.

In the README.authpostgres.html, there is a table:

CREATE TABLE passwd (
        id                    varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
        crypt                 varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
        clear                 varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
        name                  varchar(128) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
        uid                   int(10) unsigned DEFAULT '65534' NOT NULL,
        gid                   int(10) unsigned DEFAULT '65534' NOT NULL,
        home                  varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
        maildir               varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
        quota                 varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
); 

Is this the place that Unix account and Maildir be matched? I not sure what
information should be input there. Can you give me an example on that? 

Thank you for every body who helped me.

Are you sure maildirmake is in the current directory ?

% which maildirmake

should tell you the full path of the maildirmake command, mine is...

# which maildirmake
/usr/bin/maildirmake

su - testuser1  (note the "-" which changes dir to that users homedir)
maildirmake Maildir  (because you are now in the testuser1 homedir)

You might already have this part working. I can't help any further
with authpwd because I have only ever used authmysql.
