I use courier-imap and squirrelmail, and it works fine here.
The location of the inbox does not need to be specified. In my config/config.php:
$default_folder_prefix = ''; $trash_folder = 'INBOX.Trash'; $sent_folder = 'INBOX.Sent'; $draft_folder = 'INBOX.Drafts';
In ./configure I haven't even set the Server software (it's still on "other").
Compare to your version, delete your user's configs (if they aren't important) in data/ that start with your username.
Also, it's possibly a typo, but "~billbalt/.maildir" ? You have a folder in your $HOME called "~billbalt"? Or is "billbalt" your username? Then you should refer to it as ~/.maildir (for future reference).
Maybe this helps?
Greetings Ralph

I have been running an email system with postfix, procmail, mutt, etc. for some time. It has worked well.
Some time ago, I setup courier-imap and cyrus-sasl to prepare for using squirrelmail. I tested imap with mutt, and after some stumbling around, it worked, though I haven't had any occasion to use imap since.
I'm now trying to run squirrelmail, and I'm into a dead end. Hope someone can help.
My logs tell me I am able to log in, but when squirrelmail tries to access INBOX, it fails, apparently because it INBOX is pointing to my my home directory (~billbalt) rather than to my maildir (~billbalt/.maildir). The logs on the server show the following type of errors:
"Jan 6 14:11:39 antec imapd-ssl: Error reading ACLs for INBOX.elinks:
No such file or directory"
I think it will probably work if I can change INBOX to point to "~billbalt/.maildir", but I haven't found anywhere I can do that.
I've spent hours going through the forums and the web. Any help is much appreciated. . . I'm leaving for Equador tomorrow, and I'd like to be able to keep up with my email.
Thanks
