[/code]

psa-courier-imap package conflicts with courier-authlib package from Debian distribution.
Try to remove courier-authlib package and run autoinstaller again.

i actually did get it installed.
played around with it.

plesk is great however i was really surprised when it told me the trial version allows for only 1 client to be added

thats when i removed it with disappointment.

thanks for the help!

thanks , that's what I tried, but I had a problem with the apt-get remove script...
it tried to stop courier-authdaemon, looking for /var/run/courier/authdaemon/pid.lock which was not there...
I created a fake pid.lock , and surprise, the remove did fine ! and my Plesk updater too...
