Just wondering if anyone has any experience with courier-imap serving mailboxes

get it working.
My user authenticates according to the logs, but the client reports invalid
credentials. Remove the NFS home directory and it works again.
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm going to have to install
courier-imap on
solaris, and I really don't feel like that :P
I'd suspect UID/GID mismatches somewhere. Make sure the machine
delivering the email, the home dirs, and the machine running
courier-imap all see .maildir as the same user account. You may want to
put Courier-imap into verbose or debug mode as well.
I'd also look at your NFS config to see if you're doing any squashes
into other UIDs. And just for the hell of it, never use mbox over NFS.
The locking will kill you on a busy system.
