Install squirrel webmail maildir support
postfix id
With Courier-imap, we can use postfix with squirrel webmail supported with Maildir.
Postfix with Maildir
To use the Maildir in postfix just add home_mailbox = Maildir/ in main.cf
Configuration Postfix with Maildir:
soft_bounce = no
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix

Testing SMTP:
Open two shell. First for telnet command, and second shell for monitoring logs (/var/log/mail).
1fvu-linux: /home/deanet# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1 ... Connected to localhost. Escape character is'^]'. 220 local.net ESMTP Postfix helo local.net 250 local.net mail from: test@aja.net 250 2.1.0 Ok rcpt to: deanet@local.net 250 2.1.5 Ok data 354 End data with <CR> <LF>. <CR> <LF> halo testaja . 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B753761A3 quit 221 2.0.0 Bye Connection closed by foreign host. 1fvu-linux: /home/deanet#
when you type tail -f /var/log/mail on second shell, it will results:

sorry, on this experiment I use Opensuse. Open SUSE 11 has been included as the default postfix mail system. 
Thanks
