courier-imap or cyrus-imapd, depends on which type of mailboxes you
prefer. courier-imap can handle Maildirs, cyrus-imapd has it's own
custom mailbox format.

Re: Activating vim color?

Make your choice:
- type ":syntax on" in a vim session
- edit $HOME/.vimrc and add 'syntax on' (without quotes)
- edit /etc/vim/vimrc and remove the double-quotes in the line that 
  says '" syntax on'

You might need to :set syntax=$COMMON_LANGUAGE_ABBREVIATION as well in
case vim can't determine the right type of syntax...
Check /usr/share/vim/vim61/filetype.vim for available file types.

HTH,
Igor

All docs are usually located at /usr/share/doc/.
If you'd like to know where a certain package stores it's files and
directories use `dpkg -L `

If you've figured out who's eating up your RAM, you could try to prove
your suspicion by running memprof or valgrind (both are apt-gettable).

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/...

It's not buggy :) You can't expect courier package to create a Maildir/
for each user upon install...
