I just want to check my understanding here:

couriertcpd calls imaplogin to authenticate.
If imaplogin is satisfied it calls "imapd Maildir"

So imapd isn't a daemon but rather called each time? Does it re-read
it's config each time?
The configuration file is read into the environment variables before couriertcpd is started; hence imapd inherits the environment from its parent process.

What I am trying to get at is, if the IMAP_EMTPYTRASH variable was
changed to something like

IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=`getUserTrashSettings`

would it call that program for each connection?
No.

I also guess that imapd is called under the user's name?
Correct.
