    Looks like imaps and pop3s are listening only on all the ipv6 addresses configured.

    localhost = usually synonym for ipv4 address 127.0.0.1

    try connecting to:

    ::1

    This should work, however you need to configure courier to not only listen to ipv6 addresses but also ipv4 ones.

    :)

    Please start pop3 and imap. Currently, only pop3s and imaps are running.
