Hi Todd,
Thanks for your answer..
The problem appeared to be that when I entered myself as a user into
the auth table I entered an incorrect UID..
Does courier imapd cross reference the UID found in the database with
the system? The home directory in the database was correct
(/home/chris) and that was the same in /etc/passwd
I'm not sure if this was even the problem, but courier appears to be
working now.
Anyway it boils down to:
It was my fault so I'll stop wasting your time ;)
Thanks very much for your help
Regards
