[courier-users] Courier-IMAP questions

[Stefan Rusterholz]

Hi there

I'm new to courier-imap. I used an instruction of a book for the setup. Unfortunately when I try to start the pop3-daemon I only get following output:

bash-2.05a# /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start
bash-2.05a# ps -caux | grep authd
root 18865 0.0 0.0 2340 240 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.02 authdaemond.mysq
root 18866 0.0 0.0 2340 96 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.00 authdaemond.mysq
root 18867 0.0 0.0 2340 96 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.00 authdaemond.mysq
root 18868 0.0 0.0 2340 96 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.00 authdaemond.mysq
root 18869 0.0 0.0 2340 96 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.00 authdaemond.mysq
root 18870 0.0 0.0 2340 96 ?? S 10:34PM 0:00.00 authdaemond.mysq

bash-2.05a# /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/pop3d
AUTHFAILURE
bash-2.05a#

I don't have a clue where to start for fixing that (as I said, I'm new to courier-imap - but I'm also new to the whole "mailserver stuff"...)
So I was very glad about every explaining help I can get (I tried the manual at http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html but that wasn't a real help and I couldn't find a "real" manual or even a book about courier-imap... If there is useful online documentation: please point me to it!).
Please tell me what you need for further information to help me (at bottom I listed a few informations)

best regards
Stefan Rusterholz
