I have made changes to the user's home directory and transformed it to
/usr/mail/domain-name/users/juki

Output from maillog is as follows after trying to pop mail;

# tail -f /var/log/maillog

I have also reinstalled and re-configured courier-imap but still no luck
at all!

How does one proceed from here?

Rgds,
Juki.
