I just installed qmail and courier-imap and I am sending and receiving
email. Courier-imap processes are running on my server, but I am not
able to access any of the folders with sylpheed (0.9.4).
I have set up courier-imap with the authpam module and
authdaemond.plain. I have told courier to listen on 127.0.0.1. I am
includung my imapd, authdaemond.conf and authdaemonrc files, in case
someone can see something obvious that I have missed. I apologize in
advance for the length.
There is no firewall running on this server.
Can someone give me some pointers on how to troubleshoot this?
Everything seems to be working, but sylpheed just won't see it. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

##NAME: daemons:0
#
# The number of daemon processes that are started. authdaemon is
# typically installed where authentication modules are relatively
# expensive: such as authldap, or authmysql, so it's better to have a
# number of them running. PLEASE NOTE: Some platforms may experience a
# problem if there's more than one daemon. Specifically, SystemV
# derived platforms that use TLI with socket emulation. I'm suspicious
# of TLI's ability to handle multiple processes accepting connections on
# the same filesystem domain socket.
#
# You may need to increase daemons if as your system load increases.
# Symptoms include sporadic authentication failures. If you start
# getting authentication failures, increase daemons. However, the
# default of 5 SHOULD be sufficient. Bumping up daemon count is only a
# short-term solution. The permanent solution is to add more resources:
# RAM, faster disks, faster CPUs...
daemons=5
##NAME: version:0

##NAME: ADDRESS:0
#
# Address to listen on, can be set to a single IP address.
#
# ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
##NAME: PORT:1
#
# Port numbers that connections are accepted on. The default is 143,
# the standard IMAP port.
#
# Multiple port numbers can be separated by commas. When multiple port
# numbers are used it is possible to select a specific IP address for a
# given port as "ip.port". For example, "127.0.0.1.900,192.68.0.1.900"
# accepts connections on port 900 on IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and
# 192.68.0.1 The previous ADDRESS setting is a default for ports that
# do not have a specified IP address.
PORT=143
##NAME: AUTHSERVICE:0
#
# It's possible to authenticate using a different 'service' parameter
# depending on the connection's port. This only works with
# authentication modules that use the 'service' parameter, such as PAM.
# Example:
#
# AUTHSERVICE143=imap

#
# DEBUG_LOGIN=0 - turn off login debugging
# DEBUG_LOGIN=1 - turn on login debugging
# DEBUG_LOGIN=2 - turn on login debugging + log passwords too
DEBUG_LOGIN=0
##NAME: IMAP_CAPABILITY:1
#
# IMAP_CAPABILITY specifies what most of the response should be to the
# CAPABILITY command.
#
# If you have properly configured Courier to use CRAM-MD5 or CRAM-SHA1
# authentication (see INSTALL), set IMAP_CAPABILITY as follows:
#
# IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE
# THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5
# AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 IDLE"
#

##NAME: IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT:0
#
# This setting controls how often
# the server polls for changes to the folder, in IDLE mode (in seconds).
IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT=60
##NAME: IMAP_CAPABILITY_TLS:0
#
# The following setting will advertise SASL PLAIN authentication after
# STARTTLS is established. If you want to allow SASL PLAIN
# authentication with or without TLS then just comment this out, and add
# AUTH=PLAIN to IMAP_CAPABILITY
IMAP_CAPABILITY_TLS="$IMAP_CAPABILITY AUTH=PLAIN"
##NAME: IMAP_TLS_ORIG:0
#
# For use by webadmin
IMAP_CAPABILITY_TLS_ORIG="$IMAP_CAPABILITY_ORIG AUTH=PLAIN"
##NAME: IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT:0
#
# Set IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT to disable the THREAD and SORT commands -
# server side sorting and threading.
#
# Those capabilities will still be advertised, but the server will
# reject them. Set this option if you want to disable all the extra
# load from server-side threading and sorting. Not advertising those
# capabilities will simply result in the clients reading the entire
# folder, and sorting it on the client side. That will still put some
# load on the server. advertising these capabilities, but rejecting the
# commands, will stop this silliness.
#
IMAP_DISABLETHREADSORT=0
##NAME: IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS:0
#
# Set IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS to 1 if you want the server to check for
# new mail in every folder. Not all IMAP clients use the IMAP's new
# mail indicator, but some do. Normally new mail is checked only in
# INBOX, because it is a comparatively time consuming operation, and it
# would be
# a complete waste of time unless mail filters are used to deliver
# mail directly to folders.
#
# When IMAP clients are used which support new mail indication, and when
# mail filters are used to sort incoming mail into folders, setting
# IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS to 1 will allow IMAP clients to announce new
# mail in folders. Note that this will result in slightly more load on
# the server.
#
IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS=1
##NAME: IMAP_OBSOLETE_CLIENT:0
#
# Set IMAP_OBSOLETE_CLIENT if your IMAP client expects \\NoInferiors to
# mean what \\HasNoChildren really means.
IMAP_OBSOLETE_CLIENT=0
##NAME: IMAP_ULIMITD:0
#
# IMAP_ULIMITD sets the maximum size of the data segment of the server
# process. The value of IMAP_ULIMITD is simply passed to the "ulimit
# -d"
# command (or ulimit -v). The argument to ulimi sets the upper limit on
# the size of the data segment of the server process, in kilobytes. The
# default value of 65536 sets a very generous limit of 64 megabytes,
# which should be more than plenty for anyone.
#
# This feature is used as an additional safety check that should stop
# any potential denial-of-service attacks that exploit any kind of
# a memory leak to exhaust all the available memory on the server.
# It is theoretically possible that obscenely huge folders will also
# result in the server running out of memory when doing server-side
# sorting (by my calculations you have to have at least 100,000 messages
# in a single folder, for that to happen).
IMAP_ULIMITD=65536
##NAME: IMAP_USELOCKS:0
#
# Setting IMAP_USELOCKS to 1 will use dot-locking to support concurrent
# multiple access to the same folder. This incurs slight additional
# overhead. Concurrent multiple access will still work without this
# setting, however occasionally a minor race condition may result in an
# IMAP client downloading the same message twice.
#
IMAP_USELOCKS=0
##NAME: IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE:0
#
# If Courier was compiled with the File Alteration Monitor, setting
# IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE to 1 enables enhanced IDLE mode, where multiple
# clients may open the same folder concurrently, and receive updates to
# folder contents in realtime. See the imapd(8) man page for additional
# information.
#
# IMPORTANT: IMAP_USELOCKS *MUST* also be set to 1, and IDLE must be
# included in the IMAP_CAPABILITY list.
#
IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE=0
##NAME: IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME:0
#
# The name of the magic trash Folder. For MSOE compatibility,
# you can set IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME="Deleted Items".
#
# IMPORTANT: If you change this, you must also change IMAP_EMPTYTRASH
IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Trash
##NAME: IMAP_EMPTYTRASH:0
#
# The following setting is optional, and causes messages from the given
# folder to be automatically deleted after the given number of days.
# IMAP_EMPTYTRASH is a comma-separated list of folder:days. The default
# setting, below, purges 7 day old messages from the Trash folder.
# Another useful setting would be:
#
# IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7,Sent:30
#
# This would also delete messages from the Sent folder (presumably
# copies of sent mail) after 30 days. This is a global setting that is
# applied to every mail account, and is probably useful in a controlled,
# corporate environment.
#
# Important: the purging is controlled by CTIME, not MTIME (the file
# time as shown by ls). It is perfectly ordinary to see stuff in Trash
# that's a year old. That's the file modification time, MTIME, that's
# displayed. This is generally when the message was originally delivered
# to this mailbox. Purging is controlled by a different timestamp,
# CTIME, which is
# changed when the file is moved to the Trash folder (and at other times
# too).
#
# You might want to disable this setting in certain situations - it
# results in a stat() of every file in each folder, at login and logout.
#
IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7
##NAME: IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH:0
#
# Set IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH to move expunged messages to Trash.
# This effectively allows an undo of message deletion by fishing the
# deleted mail from trash. Trash can be manually expunged as usually,
# and mail will get automatically expunged from Trash according to
# IMAP_EMPTYTRASH.
#
# NOTE: shared folders are still expunged as usual. Shared folders are
# not affected.
#
IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=0
##NAME: OUTBOX:0
#
# The next set of options deal with the "Outbox" enhancement.
# Uncomment the following setting to create a special folder, named
# INBOX.Outbox
#
# OUTBOX=.Outbox
##NAME: SENDMAIL:0
#
# If OUTBOX is defined, mail can be sent via the IMAP connection by
# copying a message to the INBOX.Outbox folder. For all practical
# matters, INBOX.Outbox looks and behaves just like any other IMAP
# folder. If this folder doesn't exist it must be created by the IMAP
# mail client, just like any other IMAP folder. The kicker: any message
# copied or moved to this folder is will be E-mailed by the Courier-IMAP
# server, by running the SENDMAIL program. Therefore, messages copied
# or moved to this folder must be well-formed RFC-2822 messages, with
# the recipient list specified in the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers.
# Courier-IMAP relies on SENDMAIL to read the recipient list from these
# headers (and delete the Bcc: header) by running the command "$SENDMAIL
# -oi -t -f $SENDER", with the message piped on standard input. $SENDER
# will be the return address of the message, which is set by the
# authentication module.
#
# DO NOT MODIFY SENDMAIL, below, unless you know what you're doing.
#
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
##NAME: HEADERFROM:0
#
# For administrative and oversight purposes, the return address, $SENDER
# will also be saved in the X-IMAP-Sender mail header. This header gets
# added to the sent E-mail (but it doesn't get saved in the copy of the
# message that's saved in the folder)
#
# WARNING - By enabling OUTBOX above, *every* IMAP mail client will
# receive the magic OUTBOX treatment. Therefore advance LARTing is in
# order for_all_ of your lusers, until every one of them is aware of
# this. Otherwise if OUTBOX is left at its default setting - a folder
# name that might be used accidentally - some people may be in for a
# rude surprise. You can redefine the name of the magic folder by
# changing OUTBOX, above. You should do that and pick a less-obvious
# name. Perhaps brand it with your organizational name (
# OUTBOX=.WidgetsAndSonsOutbox )
HEADERFROM=X-IMAP-Sender
##NAME: IMAPDSTART:0
#
# IMAPDSTART is not used directly. Rather, this is a convenient flag to
# be read by your system startup script in /etc/rc.d, like this:
#
# . ${sysconfdir}/imapd
#
# case x$IMAPDSTART in
# x[yY]*)
# /usr/lib/courier-imap/imapd.rc start
# ;;
# esac
#
# The default setting is going to be NO, so you'll have to manually flip
# it to yes.
IMAPDSTART=NO
#Hardwire a value for ${MAILDIR}
MAILDIR=Maildir
#Put any program for ${PRERUN} here
PRERUN=
And extraspecial thanks to anyone who actually read this far :)
