Well are you putting users in the sql DB cause I don't think thats the 
route you want to take unless all your users are in the SQL DB.
IE:
 If you  were accessing your imap server  via Thunderbird or Outlook 
would the imap server find your users in a SQL DB? Or a passwd file?

I'm using a qmail+Vpopmail which has own DB with all the users etc.
And the courier-imap is config to use that DB.

Is there any variable that I can setup my preferable auth method, something
like $conf['auth']['method']?
In few places in the code I saw comparing between user method and all
available or the best one.
