If you've setup SM to use Courier and you can login to SM successfully
then that's not your problem.  SM really doesn't care about the underlying
mailbox implementation, all it does is fire IMAP commands to the IMAP
server and deal with the IMAP responses.  The likely source of your
problem is that your MTA doesn't know how to or is not setup to deliver to
Maildir boxes.  If your MTA is sendmail then the problem is that sendmail
doesn't support Maildir (correct me if I'm wrong, I don't use sendmail
myself).  If you're MTA is postfix then the default is probably mbox
delivery.  Simply change the main.cf file to deliver to Maildir boxes and
you're set (I use postfix and have done this exact thing).  If you use
another MTA then you'll have to read the docs to see if/how it supports
delivery to Maildir boxes.  Once you get your MTA to deliver to Maildir
boxes then Courier will be able to find your mail and if Courier finds
your mail then so too will SM.
