Woo-hoo! IMAP is now working. The problem was that I don't typically use
'sbin' on my machine, instead consolidating all binaries into bin. I 
specify this at 'configure' time with --sbindir=/path/to/bin. In the case
of Courier, as you've probably guessed by this point, there is file named
'imapd' in BOTH bin and sbin: The binary in bin, and the script in sbin.
So, the installation did exactly what I told it to, first installing
the binary in 'bindir', then promptly overwriting it with the script
in 'sbindir'.

I changed the configure variable, and now things are working like a charm.
Many thanks for taking the time out to find the problem. As a token of 
thanks I'll be typing up a document describing the way I got Courier 
installed and running on my system.

Thanks again,
m.
