Public bug reported:
The service authdaemond is not started by default at startup.
I had to use the following command so the service was started at startup :
$> sudo systemctl enable courier-authdaemon.service
Then the courier-imap with no particular authentification (ie through
authdaemon) method was able to work perfectly!
To give more details, the error encountered was that I wasn't able to use the
imap over ssl (although it worked perfectly up to 15.10 with nothing special to
do)
In /var/log/syslog, the logged lines that appeared each time my mail client was
trying to access to the local imap server were:
imapd-ssl: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory
imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, user=JR, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.254]
imapd-ssl: authentication error: No such file or directory
The release is:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
courier-authdaemon:
Installé : 0.66.4-3build1
Candidat : 0.66.4-3build1
Table de version :
*** 0.66.4-3build1 500

I expected that the service was started automatically at startup.
What happened instead was it was not enabled, leading to this mess on my
kubuntu installation.
So if the package's maintainer could check whether on a usual install(
maybe this happened only on my computer) this service was enabled by
default, that could help other people.
