You do not need to copy configuration settings from your previous install, unless it's an ancient version.
With the current version of Courier, 'make install' does not install new configuration settings, but rather intelligently merges your existing configuration settings, with any configuration settings from the new version. If the existing configuration setting is no longer valid or compatible in the new version, the individual setting gets reset to the stock default; all other custom settings remain untouched.
This works well as long as you don't butcher the magical comment markers in the configuration files, of course.
Although I try to keep any new stuff backwards-compatible, where possible, I expect that a new version always executes 'make install'.
The only exception would be, perhaps, the aliases/system and the smtpaccess/ default files. They get always installed afresh, so all your site settings should go into a different file; but that should be obvious.
