Hello,

I followed these instructions:
http://hibrida.interaksi.web.id/man/qmail/step-dnata.html

to set everything up, then used the following for courier-imap 
installation.

http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#install

Everything works great. sqwebmail, POP3, smtp, IMAP even.

_Except:_ randomly when using an IMAP client, the
server authentication fails.

It seems that when I restart the authdaemon, it cures the problem, 
though
temporarily.

Don't use authdaemon.

 Why not? Is it not reliable? If so, what's wrong with it?

Yes there is some sort of clash with vpopmail and courier-imap's authdaemon

If you use authdaemon, it will usually work for a short period and then stop responding

So, to ensure things will work reliabily, you should compile courier-imap with :

 --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
