I installed courier-imap to serve only the localhost (in order to access a local maildir via Kmail without allowing Kmail to take over the maildir ...). It works. The problem is that courier-imap is not compatible with xinetd, and I want to deny access from all but the localhost; this is done by iptables, but I don't feel comfortable with only one line of defense! I believe tcpserver would be appropriate, but I don't understand it well enough. I suppose that /etc/runlevels/default/courier-imapd should be substituted by some script invoking courier-imap via tcpserver... And is courier-imap compatible with tcpserver at all? Anyone with this kind of setup?
