In order to do this, you'll need to use a tool like fetchmail or getmail
on your mail server. Configure it to contact you're ISP's pop3 server
and grab mail, then hand it to courier. Usually configuring fetchmail to
deliver retrieved mail to 127.0.0.1 on port 25 will do it if courier's
running on the same machine. You may have to adjust for your individual
setup though. Just one thing. Be careful. fetchmail doesn't handle
things like "user unknown" errors from the target SMTP server very well.
At least it didn't back when I used to use it for pulling mail from my
college's mail server. That was a while ago, so maybe they've introduced
logic to more gracefully handle that now.

Courier can use several different methods for authentication.
/etc/passwd is one option. It all depends on how you configured
authdaemon. Also, make sure you have authdaemon running. The Courier
installation instructions discuss authentication in some detail. Most
likely, it'll tell you everything you need to know.
