Recently I have expanded my home lan to include a few more devices, a few of 
which I'd like to be able to read mail on. To this end I'm tring to install 
courier-imap on my Debian server, with Exim as my MTA. Currently Exim does 
not use the maildir format, but I am aware of the need to swap over.

The setup should be trivial, as there is only 1 user on the system, me. So it 
makes sense to me to use "userdb" instead of try anything more complicated.

below is the single entry in "userdb", it compiles without any errors and 
creates userdb.dat, userdb.lock & userdbshadow.dat

stuart  home=/home/stuart|mail=/home/stuart/Mail|gid=102|imappw=xxx|uid=102

Below is the result of a ps to see what params courier is running with.

root      3111  0.0  0.1  1372  492 ?        S    Feb18   0:00 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=0 
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/logger -stderrloggername=imapd 
-maxprocs=40 -maxperip=4 -pid=/var/run/imapd.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 
143 /usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/imaplogin 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemon 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd Maildir

But when I try & log on I get another error message in syslog:

Mar  6 00:40:50 garner imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

Can anyone suggest a likely reason when the information in userdb is not 
being used to authenticate me? Or any steps I can take to narrow down the 
cause of the problem a little more as this has me stumped.
