I double-checked my /etc/courier/authlib/authmysqlrc file... making sure there was no white-space and that just tabs seperated the fields, and then restarted courier-authlib and now everything works great.

On to configuring smtp relaying. :)

Thanks.

When trying to connect remotely with an email client (thunderbird) I can't seem to authenticate... and it's driving me crazy. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

#tail -f /var/log/messages

Feb  9 15:43:55 myhost imapd: authentication error: Input/output error

Where is my configuration problem most likely? In my /etc/postfix/main.cf file? or in my courier configs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, you can exclude postfix from the problem since postfix doesn't
supply a imap server. So it's a courier problem. Can't say much more,
but it seems that the imap daemon has trouble connecting to whatever
authentication resource you're using (maybe courier's authdaemon?).

Sorry for not being of more help...
