I just installed the latest courier-imapd today and it's really easy to
build the packages (this is all from memory, so there may be slight typos):
1) log in as root and install rpm-devel (if it's not already installed)
2) 'su - user' [su to a "normal" user]
3) echo "%_topdir /home/user/rpm" > .rpmmacros
[replace 'user' with your username]
4) mkdir -p rpm/BUILD rpm/RPMS/i386 rpm/SOURCES rpm/SPECS rpm/SRPMS
5) download courier-imapd-XXX.bz2 and courier-authlib-XXX.bz2
6) rpmbuild -ta courier-authlib-XXX.bz2
[ it will probably ask for requirements like postgresql and mysql,
just 'yum install' them for the build, you can remove them later]
7) as root, rpm -Uvh ~user/rpm/RPMS/i386/courier-authlib-XXX.rpm
[and the devel package too]
8) back as the user, build imap with:
rpmbuild -ta courier-imapd-XXX.bz2
(you may need other packages to build this too, like fam-devel, just
install them to make it happy, and remove them later)
9) as root, rpm -Uvh ~user/rpm/RPMS/i386/courier-imapd-XXX.rpm
10) start it up:
/etc/init.d/courier-authlib start
/etc/init.d/courier-imapd start
If your users are all normal system users and you don't need any fancy
mysql/ldap lookups, you should be all set. Going this route makes it
really easy to keep updated and you don't have to wait for package
maintainers.
