You are right.
I found a way to check new messages:

$ sudo -u fmaster emacs /home/fmaster/maildir/new/<Message-Id>.boxname

I've successfully received messages which were sent using the
following commands:

$ telnet localhost 25
ehlo localhost
mail from: username@localhost
rcpt to: fmaster@localhost
data
[cut]

$ netcat boxname.example.com 25
ehlo example.com
mail from: [email protected]
rcpt to: [email protected]
data
[cut]

This one also worked:

$ netcat boxname.example.com 110
+OK Hello there.
user fmaster
+OK Password required.
pass <my password>
+OK Bye-bye.

This one showed an ALERT:

$ netcat boxname.example.com 143
a login fmaster <my password>
a OK [ALERT] Filesystem notification initialization error -- contact your
mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)
a OK LOGIN Ok.
a logout
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down

I found a solution. [1]
They suggest to install libgamin0. Do you suggest the same?

So I finished the guide. [2]
Does it mean that I'm ready to go?
What is the next step? Should I install and configure a mail reader?

Thanks
