About:
Courier-IMAP is a lightweight server that provides IMAP access to maildir mailboxes. It supports folders, custom authentication modules, and virtual mailboxes. A compatible POP3 server is also provided. The source code is based on the IMAP module in the Courier Mail Server, but this build is independently repackaged to work with any other MTA that delivers to maildir format mailboxes.

[»] The best Maildir IMAP server
by Chris Horry - Jan 3rd 2005 11:31:40

It just keeps getting better with every release, straightforward to set up and then you just let it run and forget about it. All servers should be this good.

Version 4 offers a significant speed boost over version 3 as well.

    [»] Netscape Fixed needed for POP3.
    by Gridlocke2003 - Apr 21st 2003 13:53:54

    Should add a compile option at build for this problem with Netscape. Netscape clients (4.7 and such) using POP3 for login, STRIP "username@domain.com" to just "username" (Netscape strips off everything after the @ symbol). This breaks compatiblty with ISP's that have users setup using the full e-mail address for POP3, like in Outlook Express. This can be annoying if you have a virtual database with courier and the login names are "username@domain.com". The solution has been to make the users in Netscape use "%" or ":", like "username%domain.com", or "username:domain.com" with a replace routine for the login to change "%", and/or ":" to "@", or adding "username%domain.com" to the database to fix this problem.

[»] new mail notification
by Bastus - Jun 8th 2001 12:03:17

hi!

Does anyone of you know how to set up an imidietly mail notification to an IMAP client (in read in the RFC that the server has to send an "EXIST" to the client when the mailbox size changes - new mail is delivered)? I know that this normally is a a feature of IMAP servers but can't get it working with Courier-IMAP. In case of this isn't supported by Courier-IMAP do you know how to set it up with UW-IMAP and Maildir (I cou'dl get this either).

Thanks in advance

CU Bastus

[»] Maildir setup?
by Mike Carter - Mar 16th 2001 02:41:36

Can someone send me an example of setting up the requisite directory structure in the user's directory in order to interact with Courier? That would be most helpful in getting this working. Thanks.

    The easiest way would be to use the "maildirmake"
    program that is part of the qmail distribution.
    AFAIK, you should be able to compile just that
    program without using any other part of qmail.

Courier has excellent support for SSL out of the box. It's very easy to enable this functionality, and it works great.

had some trouble compiling with this combination, however since I wasn't using berkeley db I uninstalled it and used the gdm libraries. this worked then with all of the default settings.

[»] More Solaris (7/SPARC) installation notes
by Steve van der Burg - Mar 8th 2000 15:49:09

Using Sun's cc/CC, I had to make the following changes to get courier imapd to compile:

Starting with the distribution for courier imapd version 0.27:

==============================================================================
rfc2045/reformime.c:

after getting
line 262: warning: modification of typedef with "long long" ignored
line 262: invalid type combination
line 263: warning: modification of typedef with "long long" ignored

cc: acomp failed for reformime.c

replaced lines 262-263
off_t long nlines;
off_t long nbodylines;
with
off_t nlines;
off_t nbodylines;

==============================================================================
gdbmobj/gdbmobj.c:

after getting
line 87: non-constant initializer: op "NAME"
line 87: non-constant initializer: op "NAME"
line 88: non-constant initializer: op "NAME"
line 88: non-constant initializer: op "NAME"

replaced lines 87-88

    > Anyone done IMAP over SSL with

    Yes. Works great. I run non-SSL on "localhost"
    only, and SSL on the real IP address. I had to
    make one change to
    /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd-ssl.config. I
    commented out the line that includes
    imapd-ssl.config. Otherwise, the settings for the
    secure server get used by the insecure one.

    I subscribed to the mailing list and submitted
    this change, but I got back a nasty message saying
    that they wouldn't accept my email because they
    claimed I was NOT subscribed.

      Could you elaborate on how you set it up to accept non-ssl on localhost only?

      Thanks!

[»] Courier IMAP and Sun Solaris (Sparc)
by bitBytebit - Jan 18th 2000 13:18:56

It seems that I can't get this to work on Sun Solaris 7 and the configure script says the wait and wait3 functions are broken. Is this able to work on Solaris at all? It would be a great advantage over the UW-IMAP imapd server on Solaris since the memory consumption is enormous and this looks like the best alternative.

No, the default is to access ~/Mailbox for qmail.

[»] default maildir
by araqnid - Dec 29th 1999 11:48:18

As supplied, courier-imap looks at ~/Maildir - is this not the default for qmail, then?

[»] We need this
by Shaman - Nov 3rd 1999 09:47:57

PLEASE offer an option so that the standard qmail ~/Mailbox can be used as well... the open source world needs a standards-based, lightweight IMAP4 server that works with regular passworded accounts! UWIMAP is huge and unweildy and can chew up big machines really quickly. :(
