I will doublecheck this with the author of Courier.

Please read the configuration file and help ulimit in the shell. courier-imap shouldn't use up more than 128 MB on startup. How large are your courier-imap processes in general (top / ps). Did you use courier-imap before installing 4.1.1 ? On my old box: courier-imap 3.0.5.20040712-1 But this was the first courier on this hardware. Is the hardware and/or the courier-imap setup different ?

The logical set up is the same in every way. The old Box was a P4 1.3 with a gig of ram and standard ATA-disks, and the new one is a AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2GB and gdth RAID-system.
