yes, everything was there; maybe too much since the i386 versions were there too. As a result I restarted from the beginning, avoiding mixing arch (and that was not simple, ex: the server is a dell 2850 and their server's management tools are i386 only -weird-). I did encounter some problems for rpmbuild-ing the courier-authlib and courier-imap, I've posted some workaround in the courier-imap's mailing list. Really, I have the impression that courier-IMAP is badly supported on RHEL.
I am not sure what you mean by badly supported - its not supported at all, and therefore is not included in the distro. If a project wants to have their software run on a specific distro - the responsibility would fall on them, not the distro.
that's what I mean: project's people responsibility. Why? courier-imap does not deserve this, imho.
And you might want to keep in mind that you will be running this exercise everytime there is a bugfiz / securityfix released from courier-imap.
Alternative? Cyrus uses its own mail store format. Dovecot don't seem to be viable for me: Of course I can be wrong but thing like a clear text password for ldap authentication (no re-binding with the provided credentials) is bad.
