Is this correct? no, this is not correct, it depends on which imap-software you should to run, afaik courier-imap uses the Maildir only, but i know that there are IMAP-servers which don't rely on the Maildir-format only there are several scripts/programs on the net to convert mbox to maildir, and the other way around > Also, I've come to the understanding that > IMAP uses a totally different internal MTA, and thus a different user > database? > no, cyrus-imapd does, but most, if not all, of the others don't by default > Can someone point me in the right direction?

And you will have to copy and edit the *.dist files to * in /usr/local/etc/courier-imap. 1) assuming you're using courier-imap 4.0.1.x, do you have the following in /etc/rc.conf ? : courier_authdaemond_enable="YES" courier_imap_imapd_enable="YES" courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable="YES" 2) did you look at /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/ ? change imapd.cnf to your liking and run /usr/local/share/courier-imap/mkimapdcert that'll give you a self-made SSL-cert to use with courier-imapd-ssl 3) ps auxw|grep courier should show imapd and the authdaemon running 4) take a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and read also /usr/ports/UPDATING HTH, GL!
