== Description ==

Courier-IMAP is a server that provides IMAP access to Maildir mailboxes.  This IMAP server does NOT handle traditional mailbox files  (/var/spool/mail, and derivatives), it was written for the specific  purpose of providing IMAP access to Maildirs.  Courier-IMAP implements some extensions to the basic Maildir mail  storage format in order to support some additional features, such as  folders and "soft" quotas. This is done in a way that's backwards  compatible with the standard Maildir users (although, of course, they  will ignore the additional features). Other software that understands  and uses the same Maildir extensions is SqWebMail, and maildrop.
