Binc is usually much simpler to set up than Courier-IMAP. The run files
bundled with Binc IMAP should work right out of the box.

As the man pages also say, depot can either be Maildir++ or IMAPdir. The
Mailbox { type = "xxxx" } conf setting has to be Maildir.

There's the README, the man pages bincimap.conf, bincimapd and
bincimap-up, and a manual in writing (doc/manual). But extensive docs take
time to write, so I'm depending on help from the outside.

The * BYE message means that either bincimapd crashed, or checkpassword
crashed. Try this:
echo "<user>\0<pass>\0"|/bin/checkpassword 3<&0 echo;echo $?
Also, could you please post your run file and conf file so we can see it
there's something fishy going on in there.
