I'm using Postfix, Courier-imap, and Mutt successfully. You have to use 'maildirmake.courier Maildir' in the user's home directory, which will create ~/Maildir. This is the INBOX courier uses. Then, if you want to create sub-folders (for example, a sent box) use a command like this: ~$ maildirmake.courier-imap -f Sent Maildir This will create ~/Maildir/.Sent which you can access via IMAP as INBOX.Sent. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> epg@pobox.com "When I give food to the poor I am called a saint, when I ask why they go hungry I am called a communist" --Bishop Helder Camara
