I took the tarball from courier's website and did an default
configure/make/make install installation, and despite this, it works
just fine so I'd prefer if it could just be fixed.

That's serious.

That directory should have been created during installation of courier.
Since it's not there, there are a couple of possibilities:
* you installed courier somewhere else, and the courier.config module
didn't find it. In this case, you'd want to locate courier's "spool"
directory and fix courier.config.
