Can you tell us where the install is failing? How far do you get and what doesn't work. Are you using the Ubuntu packages to install or compiling it yourself from the tar balls? Just to be sure, did you also install the courier-authdaemon and courier-authlib packages? You need those two as well as a backend method if you want to have virtual users (mail users who are not system users), like courier-authlib-userdb, or courier-authlib-mysql. If you don't have those installed, then you're not going to be able to add any users. Tell us how far you got and what's gone wrong, and we'll try to get you up and running. > Can someone PLEASE tell me how to completely remove any trace of courier and > all other mail related programs from my Ubuntu Server, and then point me in > the direction of a GOOD guide.

But it can be daunting at first. Just keep reminding yourself that once it's going, it never quits. How to completely remove it depends on how you installed it. I'm assuming that you used the Ubuntu packages. So then all you need to do is run: dpkg --list | grep courier and then run: apt-get --purge remove <package1> <package2> ... or dpkg --purge <package1> <package2> ... using the package names that the first command showed you. You'll also want to run 'dpkg --purge sqwebmail' if you installed Sqwebmail, the courier web mail component. (Since it's doesn't have 'courier' in its name, it won't show up in the --list). HTH. Tell us where you're stuck, and we'll try and get you unstuck.
