I don't know about the latest version, but older versions of Courier's
configure default cache_file to ./config.cache in the top-level directory.
 configure scripts in the subdirectories get passed --cache-file with a
relative path (e.g. --cache-file=.././config.cache)  and do load the cache
properly.  Perhaps the cache-file processing in the latest release's
configure scripts is broken?

No. Cache file processing is turned off by default in the current version of autoconf. The reason given:

    By default, `configure' uses no cache file (technically, it uses
 `--cache-file=/dev/null'), to avoid problems caused by accidental use
 of stale cache files.

Investigating what needs to be done to work around this.
