I'm in pretty much the same boat. I run courier-imap on a personal linux
system with only two accounts set up; one account for personal email and
one for work email.
I think I just started at the top of the install instructions on
<URL:http://courier-mta.org/> and worked my way through to the end. It's
a little tedious to go through the whole thing, but the instructions
seemed adequate. I created a self-signed certificate so that I could use
SSL/TLS, and I also set up the userdb because one IMAP client I know
of--Balsa from the Gnome project--only supports CRAM-MD5 authentication.
You shouldn't have to worry about starting authdaemond. The regular
courier startup process should take care of it, if things are set up
properly. Courier comes with a startup script for /etc/init.d, called
courier-imap.sysvinit, though I seem to recall the documentation didn't
call attention to this file.
