[courier-users] Courier-imap

Hi.

A guy in a chat room told me that this courier-imap allows for secure
imap connections?

I install it from FreeBSD (6.2) ports and I can start it, but having a
few problems:

(client is ThunderBird for testing, but will also need to use outlook)

1) I want to use "plain" auth (the same that ssh and consoles uses,
from /etc/passwd - nothing fancy), but when I try to connect (with
Thunderbird) it says I can't login, even though my password works fine
for ssh (error message is "Login to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx failed"

2) for MAILDIRPATH I need to set that to /var/mail for performance
reasons (the performance will be junk on this test system if it uses
home directories).. it's fine if each user has their own directory
under /var/mail/[username] or whatever... but can't use their home
directory.
(also tried setting it to both '/var/mail' and just 'Maildir' and
'.maildir' - but not seeing users inboxes being created??)

3) how do you turn verbose level up? I set this in syslog.config, but
getting very little debug info from courier-imap:
mail.* /var/log/maillog
imapd.* /var/log/imapd.log

4) Is there any how-tos on this? the freebsd handbook suggests it,
but doesn't have any info on how to set it up.

5) also need to setup SSL only. For now, testing without is fine -
but eventually need only encrypted conenctions.

6) I set:
courier_imap_imapd_enable="YES"
in the /etc/rc.config - are there any other values I can or need to
set? The freebsd handbook doesn't have any info on it.

Thanks!
