Okay, I have all the test users to Maildir/ format, I also installed the
courier-imap package that you suggested. But I still cannot seem to get
the email to work properly. I tried the authshadow and the authpwd
AUTHMODULES in the /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd.config file, nothing
has worked. I will outline the basic steps below of what I have done and
I will try to (conservatively) paste the contents of some of the config
files for qmail. I think I must be missing something. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
1. I downloaded and installed the following packages
- qmail
- daemontools 0.70
- ucspci 0.88
2. I configured everything and qmail appears to be sending/recieving email
- I followed all the TEST.* files that came with the qmail source
everything checked out.
3. I downloaded and built courier-imap
- every time I try to connect with Outlook/Outlook Express I get
error:
There may be server or network problems or your timeout interval may
be too short.
Account: X.X.X.X
Protocol: IMAP
Server: X.X.X.X
Port: 143
Where X.X.X.X is the IP address of the potential IMAP server. Are there
any other tests I can run? What other output would be beneficial? courier-
imap did not complain when it was build, nor does it complain when it
runs.

That's a strong possibility. If you're using shadow and WU uses getpwnam
rather than
getspnam, it won't get the password and won't be able to authenticate. Does
WU IMAP
support PAM authentication? That would make your life easier if it can be
built with
PAM support since then the actual authentication checking is done is shared
libraries.
I've been a longtime qmail (with maildirs) user and I highly recommend the
use of
maildirs rather than the old mailbox files. The only imap server I've gotten
to work
satisfactorily for me is courier-imap. This is a maildir-only imap server
which I
found naturally enough on the qmail web site. The link is:
