If one wants to run Courier, he should search and study RFC documents
(!!!) regarding IMAP and create Maildirs by hand, exactly matching the
describtion in RFC. Then suddenly, whoila, a miracle, Courier starts
working.

It exists maildirmake ti create maildir directories.
I really DO think, that in 21th century, creation of proper directory
structure SHOULD be held by package itself. Courier-imap should create
proper Maildirs in /etc/skel and then politely ASK, if he should create
them for existing users too.
Creating Maildir for existing user is definitely a BAD things, unless
you handle a lot of detail on converting existing mailbox. Which probably
would fail in a lot of cases.
Anyway you talk about "courier-imap". IMAP should absolutely not
create maildir directories. This deamon give access of *existing*
mailbox/maildir to user via IMAP protocol.
So the maildir should be eventually be created by the mail deliver agent,
the program that would put mail to user mailbox/maildir.
I don't desire to be unkind, but so far, Courier-IMAP has been the
package with the worst installation I have ever met.
I think you didn't understand what a IMAP daemon should do.
