Hello,

I have installed courier-imap from ports on a FreeBSD 4.4 stable system with
qmail.  I simply want to be able to use imap to access my mail.  

The problem is I cannot seem to access any of my mail folders.  The
documentation indicates the authentication module is responsible for
locating the primary maildir, but I do not know how to configure the primary
maildir for authpwd or pam.

My inbox is in my home directory (/home/jknoll/Maildir/inbox).  I can telnet
to localhost port 143 and login with my username and password.  I assume
authpwd is being used to authenticate, but I am not certain of that.

[jknoll@server]~> telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Does anyone have any suggestions?
