The homepage is http://vpopmail.sourceforge.net/ and you need at least 5.2.2 (or some recent 5.3.x, I don't know what the minimum x is for a working solution) Once you have upgraded, you will need to recompile courier. > it's strange that i have no problem using POP3 to check mail > using subdomain... If you compiled courier-imap --without-authdaemon, that would explain it. Otherwise, maybe you have more users on webmail than POP? The problem occurs when a user logs in with a long username, and then another user logs in with a shorter username (but they hit the same authdaemon instance, so there is only a 1-in-5 chance of that). You could try doing your POP3 test repeatedly alternating long and shorter usernames. Brian.
