I'm trying to set up Courier-IMAP on RH7.3 with Postfix.

all I need at this time is POP3, and, perhaps later, IMAP

I'm somewhat familiar with POP3 process, and, have only a rather vague
understanding about IMAP as a 'server stored mail box'

Courier-IMAP compiled and installed OK (with the 'install-strip' option) to
the default /usr/lib/courier-imap tree.

the server starts and is running (I think...)

# ps ax | grep r-imap
16660 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16661 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16662 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16663 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16664 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16665 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.pgs
16676 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=0
16679 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/courierlogger pop3d

I've looked at the various docs that came with it, and, am somewhat lost
what do next (in order to use it...)

I modified the conf/pop3d.cnf file to 'YES'

I can not access the pop server

I suspect that I'm suppoed to create a mail directory with 'maildirmake',
what options do I need ?

and, do I need to transfer the password with 'pw2userdb'

if there are any docs that deals with such setup Q, pls point me there as I
haven't found anything so far.
