Hmm...so how would I make this work for me...  What I need is the following:

Consider user "BasicUser1".

BasicUser1 does not have the authority to use POP3 and IMAP via her local
MUA (e.g. Outlook Express).  However, she does have the authority to use the
website to check her mail.  We differentiate what she can and cannot do
based on her user status (an integer in the database).

What you suggest is appealing, but I'm still not certain how it'd work.
When BasicUser1 attempts to check email via Outlook Express, I want her to
be turned down.  When BasicUser1 logs in via the website and the web server
makes the IMAP connection, I want her to be authorized.

The way we currently do it seems very sloppy, but it does work.  If we could
somehow streamline it into a something sleek and beautiful, I'd love to.  Do
you still think that Courier has enough as-is to do what I want?  If so,
could you give me a concrete example as to how you'd do this?
