Excellent. Then to give further example to what Jamie has said, you will
need to create a maildir in each users home directory, as follows:
maildirmake ~username/Maildir
Now you will need to make email go there as an INBOX, as mail will go
elsewhere by default. You will need a procmail recipe (as well as
installing procmail itself) that contains the following setting:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
Now all that remains is for IMP to speak courier-imap. Edit
/etc/imp/defaults.php3.in and set the following parameters:
folders="INBOX.";
You may also need to ensure that "personal_folders" is commented out if
it is there at all.

No, this is the purpose of SLUG, to ask Linux questions and to hopefully
get answers. That's what user forums are all about.
