I suspect this is the problem.  I know the Web site says 4.0.6, but a
later version is required.  Try the archives for April.

This is shaky at best.  Try configuring from scratch.  Tedious I know,
but a fair amount changed.

Probably not.  One of the complaints about the Courier packages is the
almost non-existant logging.

I have a similar setup, SuSE Linux (7.1 and later 8.2 beta3), Courier
IMAP (Postfix for MTA).  I saw the same problem until I upgraded PHP
to 4.2 or 4.3.  Note: the very latest 4.3.2, IIRC, is not recommended.

HTH,
