Environment: Linux 7.3, Postfix 1.1.11-7 w/ MailDirs, Courier-Imap 1.5.3
 
After doing "make install" and "make install-configure " as root, I have the courier-imap 1.5.3 installed. Now, I'm trying to get it configured. My book, Postfix by Richard Blum, suggests that the configuration files are located in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc. This book also says that the main config file should be named imapd.config. I don't have this file. I have imapd.cnf,  imapd.dist, pop3d.cnf, and pop3d.dist, as well as a few others.
 
Is the book wrong? Did I do something wrong during installation?
 
Also, I can't authenticate using either IMAP or POP. I can connect, but not authenticate. What am I missing? Postfix receives email on port 25 and creates the MailDir structure just fine. New messages are in "new", etc. When I telnet to port 143, I get "OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for distribution information". When I try to execute any command or press return, I get "NO Error in IMAP command received by server"
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks,
 
Barry
