I adjusted userdb to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] home=/services/mail/content/synchrosounds.com/jason/Maildir|mail=/services/mail/content/sync
hrosounds.com/jason/Maildir|systempw=$1$efKn04FG$WKFWA5ULFwIALsTDRl5Ri/|gid=999|uid=999

But still no dice. Still User Unknown.

Make up your mind. It's either "pop3d: No such file or directory", or "user unknown" when delivering mail. Two completely different situations.

The Maildir directory exists just as it is in the userdb file. Heck, I even set the mode to 777 thinking it may be a permissions problem of some sort.

Making random guesses never works. A better approach is to understand what exactly the problem is. If you aren't sure what is the problem, you have no way to even begin to figure out what the solution is.
I wish I could understand the problem a bit better, but I haven't been able to find the documentation illustrating the use of the advanced debugging and logging features which I've heard so much about. This was my decision for going to courier -- because I heard great things about it a) being a super, all in one system that could do whatever you wanted and b) having second to none logging and debugging facilities aswell as a mailing list and news group for support where people were helpful and more importantly clueful.

I've had trouble in the last couple of days figuring out how to help myself with use of this logging and debugging so I resort to the public for help, unfortunatley scouring the archives and google hasn't turned up anything useful pertaining to esmtpd+userdb, so I'm stuck. Random guesses are what I'm left with -- hey, at least I'm trying "SOMETHING" and not blindly asking questions without at least trying to educate myself.

Sam, I know you are busy and find it stressful to read messages every day from stupid people who just don't get it. I'm one of those people to you, I know. I've tried to provide adequate logs, config snippets and self help as possible because I know how difficult your job is.

The pop3d snippet was a typo. I should have posted the esmtpd snippet but posted the pop3d snippet instead, sorry but they are connected, I have proven that already which is why I started the second thread "Losing my brain with userdb". This one was getting dry and was mis-informing. The new thread I think and I hope has a little more useful information in it.

What do you need from me to get this working? Would it make it easier on you if I just went to postfix? I had postfix working at one point, but I would much rather use an all-in-one system like courier, and I'm sure you had that in mind when you developed it, too.

Anyways, I apoligize for my over-zealous appeal here, I just really want to get this working and I'm trying to understand as best I can with the limited resources I have dug up in the last 4 days.

"No such file or directory", when logging in via IMAP or POP3 indicates an incorrect setting for the account's home directory, or maildir.

"User unknown" is usually caused by a disconnect between locals/hosteddomains, and the actual account directory.
This thread is dead. I have started a new one which specifically shows that locals is deleted, hosteddomains has one entry in it aswell as other configs and logs.
