I found CourierIMAP very difficult to configure with my qmail box. I
finally settled on BincIMAP (http://www.bincimap.org/ &
http://www.lifewithbincimap.org/) which took about 5 minutes to install
and configure. The code isn't as mature, however it is under active
development, plus the mailing list for support is monitored and
responded to very frequently.
