Thanks Tomas. That is exactly what the problem was. I set postfix to use maildir in the users home directories and voila it all worked.

1. Courier-imap drops connections if you connect too often. Settings are
in server's config.

2. courier-imap needs Maildir directory in user's home. If it does not
find it, it closes connection. Try logging into imap server with telnet.

telnet imapserver 143
...some output...
A01 LOGIN username password
..you will be informed if you logged in correctly..
A02 LOGOUT

If you fail to log with telnet, check server logs.

3. SuSE uses php 4.3.3. You need to use SquirrelMail 1.4.2. Older version
have problems with 4.3.2+
