I'm running the exact same setup (including versions), except for a few
things:
1. I don't use /etc/userdb, I use the vchkpw auth module
2. I didn't use the rpm version, I compiled it
3. I don't use courier's POP server, I use vchkpw
I've had no authentication problems.
How come you're using Courier's POP server instead of vpopmail? I don't
know anything about courier's pop server, so you may have a good reason.
Regarding the IMAP server, I recommend making the vchkpw auth module work
first. I have all other modules removed my imapd.conf script. Once that's
working, you could try getting /etc/userdb to work. I have no experience
with it, but it seems to me that it would only really be useful in
situations with a large number of users/domains, or maybe where the are are
many authentication modules at work, with /etc/userdb as a means of
consolidating them. Maybe someone else has another opinion on it?
Hope this helps.
