COURIER-IMAP configuration

Hi All,

This is not a direct question related to UBUNTU . But be reassure, I use
UBUNTU everyday on all my computers, even at work even if the system is
not supported by the technical department. I've managed to distribute ONE
cd to another student of the Institut in 2 years plus 2 guys for the Tech
departement,  :-\ , not so good I know, but since the OS is not supported,
nobody want to try it... what a shame.
I'm digressing, sorry, so my question is more about setting up an IMAP
server in general. I have  KuroBOX from Revogear on which I installed
Debian. Debian works perfectly ! I've install the Courier-IMAP server,
configure it through Courier-Webadmin and I have some issue when I try to
connect to the server through Thunderbird.
I have to mention that fetchmail and sendmail works, I can retreive and
send mail through the command line. It's really more (I think) a logging
issue with the IMAP server... :'(

Here is the log of the IMAP for my last attempt of connection (the
username and password have been changed of course).

Dec 4 21:40:01 KURO-BOX sm-msp-queue[1552]: My unqualified host name

Did someone managed to install and make an Courier-IMAP server works ?

I'm totally clueless in IMAP server actually, so any help will be so
greatfully appreciate.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best Regards and All the Best for the NEW YEAR.

Shadowing.
