Hello,

If your userdb is fine (systempw / imappw), just check authentification 
is done through authuserdb.
In authdaemonrc, you should have something like: 
authmodulelist="authuserdb authcustom"
This way, any e-mail client will provide the password, and 
courier-authlib will do the rest.

Is there something I did not understand?

HTH.
