Is it correct to pass this option to courier-imap's configure script:
configure --with-authdaemonvar=/path/to/sqwebmail/var
This is not really a documented option, and it may go away at any time.
A more appropriate solution is to create a symlink.
Should I also manually edit courier-imap's imapd.rc script to avoid starting another copy of authdaemon?
Correct.
