Courier IMAP working

After doing some struggling and discovering that the latest versions of Courier IMAP (4.0.x) won't compile under OS X, I went back and got the 3.0.8 release installed and functional thanks to setup instuctions here and a handy .pkg installer of the Courier IMAP software from here. After struggling through understanding all the options, I had it up and running. Mostly.

One thing that quickly became painfully obvious was that Courier IMAP was designed only to access Postfix Maildirs, not the default mailbox files used by unix system accounts. So, my next step will be to get all users mail transitioned over to this format, and get Postfix to recognize my local domain as well as my virtual one...
