You know, i was about to install courier-imap (which i don't like),

how is done.
The problem is that qmail-ldap doesn't work the way Dovecot expects
it to work. I'd even say that qmail-ldap'a auth_imap is broken since
it doesn't work the way checkpassword binary is supposed to work.
However setting the auth user like I said earlier would most likely
fix this. But you'll first need to know what the auth user is. It's
not the virtual username, it's some system user in /etc/passwd. But I
don't know what username qmail-ldap is using, so you'll first need to
figure out what the user is (it's the same user that's used to store
the mails).
