Which file is missing?  I recently installed Courier-Imap on FreeBSD and some 
file was missing but I don't recall which one.  Make 
sure /usr/local/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc has a line that looks like this

authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam authmysql"

You should have at least authuserdb and authpam listed.

Also do 'touch /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/shared/index' because Courier will 
complain if the file is missing, though it will still work.  I have to do 
that in Debian as well because the "index" file is missing.
