I have tried setting thunderbird to use the following info:

When I try to access my inbox Thunderbird asks for password (a good
thing of course) and I supply my linux account password.

This is where the trouble starts Thunderbird claims it's not the
valid password, but as I havent setup any other password when I installed
Courier-imap what  password dos it want?

Any help appreciated.



	Send yourself some mail if you haven't already. Courier-imap will bomb 
out in fun and useless ways if your user's .maildir/ does not exist.

 So I have finally installed postfix which seems to provide the basic
 functionality of sending a mail.
 
 after trying to send a mail to my self  using telnet, a file with the
 following content appears in my maildir (/home/joe/.maildir/new):
 
 Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 So I guess both the sending part and the reciving part went ok...
 
 Question:  how do I check my mail by using a mail klient
 
 
 I have tried setting thunderbird to use the following info:

As I recall thunderbird doesn't like courier-imap very much.  Have you
experimented with different SSL/TLS settings?
