Hi Pete...
qmail-ldap has the ability to make Maildir's when missing if the user
authenticates via ldap (if approprate ldap entries are present for that
user)
My mistake re courier-pop3, I ment qmail-pop3
I've successfully set up courier-imap on my qmail test box that has been
running flawlessly for months, no big deal.
As a matter of fact, it was running...
qmail
qmail-pop3d
courier-imapd
sqwebmail
My confusion lies with the authentication system setup with ldap.

Why would qmail-ldap make maildirs? Isn't that part of making new user
accounts?

Why are you using the courier POP server rather than qmail-pop3d? It hase
served me well so far...

Well, yes, as a newbie :-) I have been running qmail for 2 years but am
not just venturing into IMAP, so I both want to be of assistance, and
learn what you figure out... Folks on the list can be a bit short and
snarky, but with persistance you will find aid and info.
Pleased to meet you,
