Well, with some wrapper software, you can store any arbitrary data on an
IMAP server. But that doesn't make it a inherent feature of the IMAP
protocol. Just as an IMAP client that stores its contacts in a special
"Contacts" folder. I wonder that nobody made a RFC that does that.
Probably using LDAP is good enough.

"Server not found". Hm, looks like like inconsistent dns.

On the product pages of bynari.net, the list "Insight Server as the IMAP
server" as a system requirement of the Insight Connector, nothing about
Courier. Gives not much confidence to their software...
