Sergi, "chdir Maildir: No such file or directory" message seems to mean 
the server is trying to "go" to that directory and is not found, because 
it does not exist.

http://www.courier-mta.org/imapd.html

"(...) The last daisy-chained command is imapd, which is the actual IMAP 
server, which is started from the logged-in account's home directory. The 
sole argument to imapd is the pathname to the default IMAP mailbox, which 
is usually ./Maildir. Some authentication modules are capable of 
specifying a different filename, by setting the MAILDIR environment 
variable."

I would start by discarding a problem with a bad folder structure  
required by Courier.
