Courier-IMAP requires that user's $HOME/Maildir/ exists and the permissions are set so the user can chdir into this directory (usually 700). Try `man maildirmake` or `man courier.maildirmake`. Before your mails get delivered into a Maildir instead of a mbox file, you have to setup your MTA (exim) appropriately. afaik there's even an example config in /usr/share/doc/exim/... > So, the install process of courier-imap seems buggy, but I guess it is > specific to some condition I have, since I see no bug report or thread about > these issues. What do I need to do to get this working? It's not buggy :) You can't expect courier package to create a Maildir/ for each user upon install...
