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.
