Then I had to add a line: "MAILDIR=Maildir" to /etc/init.d/courier-imap to set that environment variable so it would find my Maildir directories. I think courier-pop may need the same. The installation trashed the contents of /etc/pam.d/imap (I took a copy from the potato courier-imapd package) and I had to fiddle with /etc/courier/imapd to get it to authenticate. I have not setup the pop3d, but I would expect similar problems. I had to add a few symbolic links to get sqwebmail to work, but I have still not managed to get it to authenticate. (My source code compilation did authenticate, so there can't be too much missing). I think these may be general bugs in an unstable package, as opposed to potato specific. I have a number of site where I would like to deploy this package, and if it can be by means of an upgradeable *.deb, it will be worth the effort.
