Reading over your message again, I think you are talking about "virtual" users, i.e, e-mail users that are not Linux users on the box where the mail is stored. I'm not sure if Courier IMAP does that. You can create the user with home directory, password, and Maildir directories, but /bin/false as the shell so they can't login. There are probably other ways to do this. HTH, Jeffrey Quoting IEEE alias :

IIRC, it didn't require any configuration. I am using Maildir format for my inboxes. I did need to create symlinks from ~/Maildir/.suse to where the inbox really was, ~/Maildir/folders/.suse in my case. How to connect to it depends on your mail reader. With Mutt, I put this in .mutt.personal

set spoolfile="imap://localhost/INBOX" set folder="imap://localhost/"

Greetings, all Linuxfans.

I need some help on getting startet with Courier IMAP-server. I have installed it, and I am able to start it up.

But how do I configure it? How do I create users?

The documentation is huge, and I can't find a place to start.

Any help is welcome.

Kind regards.

I have never heard of a manager who looked back at the last four or five years' worth of expenses and said, "Well, gee, that Windows sure saved us a lot of money. We ended up being able to spend less on hardware, less on applications, and a whole lot less on support!"
