Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework. In this tutorial we'll only use the Courier POP3 and IMAP services.

It's assumed that you have already installed and configured Postfix according to this tutorial: Installing Postfix with MySql backend and SASL for SMTP authentication

1. Install required packages

apt-get install courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl

2. Make Courier use MySql backend (pico /etc/courier/authdaemonrc)

authmodulelist="authmysql"

3. Configure the MySql connector (pico /etc/courier/authmysqlrc)

MYSQL_SERVER 127.0.0.1
MYSQL_USERNAME {username}
MYSQL_PASSWORD {password}
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE {database}
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail"
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota

{database} = MySql database name
MySql username
MySql password

4. Restart Courier daemons

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop-ssl restart

1. Install required packages

apt-get install courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl

2. Make the auth daemon support MySql virtual users (pico /etc/courier/authdaemonrc)

authmodulelist="authmysql"

3. Configure courier to use MySql backend (pico /etc/courier/authmysqlrc)

MYSQL_SERVER {mysql_host}
MYSQL_USERNAME {mysql_username}
MYSQL_PASSWORD {mysql_password}
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE {mysql_database}
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap restart
/etc/init.d/courier-imap-ssl restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop restart
/etc/init.d/courier-pop-ssl restart

You can now connect to your server on port 110 for pop3, 995 for pop3s, 143 for imap and 993 for imaps.
