Mail problem: courier conf points to "poppasswd" instead of passwd.db

[vitof]

Hi I've a Plesk 8.6.0,
I read all of discussions about Qmail + Courier and so on.

The problem is this: i can send emails but it's impossible to login via Pop3.
The log result is:
IMAP connect from @ [168.144.108.144]checkmailpasswd: FAILED: webmaster@mydomain - no such user from @ [168.144.108.144]ERR: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[168.144.108.144]
----

Now the facts!

In the file /etc/courier-imap/imapd
...
MAILDIRPATH=Maildir
AUTHMODULES="authpsa"
MAILPASSWD="/var/qmail/users/poppasswd"

in /etc/courier-imap/imapd
...
POP3DHOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
AUTHMODULES="authpsa"
MAILPASSWD="/var/qmail/users/poppasswd"

The poppasswd IS EMPTY! While all of the email data (username, password and so on) configured via ControlPanel are stored correctly in
/var/lib/plesk/mail/auth/passwd.db

I tryed manual modification on pop3d and imapd conf file setting the path of passwd.db, restart the relative services but with no positive result

How can I solve this problem?? Argh
