I installed courier from the latest tar ball using the rpm install. Every thing seems fine.

I followed the instructions on setting up a virtual mail account and the content of my userdb file is:


vmail uid=501|gid=501|home=/home/vmail|shell=/bin/bash|systempw=$1$PRjwYNJR$Ai6RJL1rdXjLK6i8sk0.V0|gecos=Mail Users^M
501= vmail^M
[EMAIL PROTECTED] imappw=5P2NjOkez1Z6w|uid=501|mail=/home/vmail/Maildir-jacko-localhost|home=/home/vmail|gid=501

When I connect to the server using the vmail account I get the following error: Unknown error: "Fatal error: Maildir: No such file or directory
Read data: "

Most likely because /home/vmail/Maildir does not exist.

but when I try using the jacko account

Why are you logging in as "jacko", while your account's name is really "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?

I get a different error:

"Unknown user or password incorrect. "

There's no such error message in Courier-IMAP. The program that you are using to read your mail apparently believes that you are a moron who's too stupid to see the actual error message from the server; hence it is replaced by bland, generic, meaningless text.
