This is actually correct. Don't specify the Maildir directly; if you do it
overrides other settings. The field is there for when the Maildir is NOT in the
default location. The way it is set up now means that courier will look for a
maildir called "Maildir" inside that account's HOME directory.

Run it as root and add your password after your username. See if authlib can
authenticate you with the password. ("man authtest" to see how it works.)

openssl s_client -connect <server>:imaps
logon with "abc login <name> <password>"
Assuming it succeeds, then logout with "def logout".
This all assumes, of course, that your system user's mail is stored in a maildir
called "Maildir" in their HOME directory. If it's an mbox called
"/var/spool/mail/<user>" then courier-imap is not going to find it.
