[luau] Courier Imap Troubles

[R. Scott Belford]

Don,

This is a very well-maintained how-to for your setup.  You want to be 
sure that either /etc/skel has been set up to make a Maildir for each user

maildirmake /etc/skel

or edit exim.conf to be sure that it is set up to transport mail to a 
maildir.

This how-to is pretty darn good.

In your Maildir you should have a cur, a tmp, and a new directory.

hopefully this helps a little
