You should probably go and read the courier INSTALL documentation again before you go any further. It's the definitive guide to setting up Courier. http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html Courier IMAP and Courier POP require that the mail be stored in maildirs, not the older mbox format. Fortunately postfix can deliver to either. So tell postfix to deliver to maildirs. http://www.postfix.org/faq.html#maildir Then for each user you'll need to create a maildir called 'Maildir' in their HOME directory. Use the 'maildirmake' utility which comes with courier to create them. So if user 'bob' has a HOME directory defined as '/var/spool/mail/virtual/bob', then you need to run maildirmake /var/spool/mail/virtual/bob/Maildir Then make sure it's owned by the uid and gid you assigned this user in your database. If you already have mail for these users on your server, then you need to convert their mbox to the Maildir format. There are utilities on the internet to do this.
