You don't need to configure QMail to use Courier-IMAP and I encourage you
to dump UW-IMAP and dmail and use that instead. Since you're already using
Maildirs and Postfix, you only need to learn Courier-IMAP, and maybe
Maildrop to replace Procmail and be a global MDA.
One detail that I think is worth mentioning for you is how Courier-IMAP
handles folders. I can't remember how UW-IMAP does but for Courier-IMAP
the folders (sub-maildirs) are in the form of ".something" Maildirs under
~/Maildir/. When accessed via IMAP these are all below INBOX in the
hierarchy.
To illustrate, a hypothetical setup:
INBOX
- Read Mail
+ Work
- Sent Mail
+ Family
- Trash
- PLUG
+ Misc
+ Newbies
Would look like this:
~/Maildir
- cur
- new
- tmp
- .INBOX.Read Mail
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .INBOX.Sent Mail
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .Trash
- .Read Mail.Work
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .Sent Mail.Family
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .PLUG
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .PLUG.Misc
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
- .PLUG.Newbies
+ cur
+ new
+ tmp
Of course you only need to know this if you're migrating a bunch of
folders from a UW-IMAP setup to Courier-IMAP. If starting from scratch you
can always add folders and sub folders and so on via IMAP.
