An MTA and an IMAP server are clearly distinct things. Just install what you need. I personally didn't ever think of installing "courier". I installed their MTA, their IMAP or POP server. And - I have to admit - not ever their Webmail. I didn't ever want nor need the entire bundle. But I could (in theory), by simply installing all the parts. > My suggestion is to avoid disassembling the Courier tarball.

I like being able to install courier-imap, but not courier-pop, for example. Or running just the courier-mta without either of the other two. That's quite common for Debian, I'd say. Take the modules for apache's httpd as another example of that practice. Or the fact that Debian ships separate client and server packages for most databases. Kind Regards Markus Wanner
