You don't say what version of courier-imap you are using, but from those log 
messages I think it is 3.x or older. You should install 4.x with 
courier-authlib; it gives much better debugging.

Full details of how to debug authentication problems with courier-authilb are 
in http://www.courier-mta.org/authlib/README.authdebug.html

Turning on debugging will show you exactly what SQL queries are being sent to 
the database, for example.
