Your LDAP directory does not seem to contain Unix UID / GID information
for your users.  Create a user on the Courier server such as vmail.  Edit
/etc/courier/authldaprc and comment out the LDAP_UID and LDAP_GID lines
and uncomment add two lines that look like this:

LDAP_GLOB_UID  vmail
LDAP_GLOB_GID  vmail

note that according to Sam, you should use the actually UID/GID number
here instead of just vmail.  Look in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups to see
what your system assigned for vmail.  However, I've just been using the
vmail here without issue.  All of your Maildir's and user's home
directories must be owned by vmail.vmail.  Something like this should do
the trick:

chown -R vmail.vmail /path/to/maildirs

Have fun.
