I've run into a curious problem installing the Courier-IMAP (from the standalone IMAP 
server package).

1. Starting point:

A properly working Qmail + vpopmail-5.2.1 (using MySQL) installation on RedHat 7.3, no 
problems that I'm aware of.

2. Initial problems with compiling:
- couldn't read libvpopmail.a --> fixed file permissions and tried again
- linker complained about missing mysql libraries --> fixed by setting LDFLAGS

The whole configure string I used was:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz";
export LDFLAGS;
./configure --silent --with-autvchkpw;

"make", "make check", "make install-strip" and "make install-configure" run without 
problems and Courier starts.

3. Initial connection to Courier-IMAP works as expected:

>>>>
[me@mail me]# telnet 0 143
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for

a001 OK LOGIN Ok.
a001 LOGOUT
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down
a001 OK LOGOUT completed
Connection closed by foreign host.
<<<<

4. I try IMMEDIATELY again:

>>>>
[me@mail me]# telnet 0 143
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for

a001 NO Login failed.
a001 LOGOUT
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down
a001 OK LOGOUT completed
Connection closed by foreign host.
<<<<

If I restart Courier I can connect again, only *once* though.

Anybody got ideas what I should do next? I allready tried without success versions 
"1.5.3", "1.5.3.20021014.RC2" and even "1.4.3" (which I've had running on another 
server for quite some time).
