No, you don't need maildrop (unless you want to do mail
filtering/classification or run commands for virtual accounts). Then you
are having a problem with courier-imap? if so, follow the same
recommendations as for maildrop (since they both use authdaemon). but
start by trying 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost first...
