Need to get 92.9MB of archives. After unpacking 143MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] I ran the upgrade, including noting that courier's auth has changed completely. After this, I got hold of courier-authlib-mysql, apt-got it. Restarted the whole service including mysql, and I can still not log in to pop mail. Mail still dequeuing ok (that's how I managed to register here!) so it's purely an access thing. Can anyone godly in these ways tell me how to get courier-authlib-mysql integrated so that my mysql user tables can be used to check pop? Thanks IA mindrail
