With Courier, you just need to create the main Maildir. Rest are created
as per usage (IMAP/SqWebmail login time, I think).

You will have to reconfigure your clients. With MS/Outlook, I think this
will need registry hacks.

Courier also supports sending emails via IMAP. Now that is a cool feature
;-) Just create a folder called Outbox on your IMAP server and store
outgoing mails there - Courier will pick them up and send out. No need
for SMTP AUTH, pop-before-smtp or relays. :)
