So I have finally installed postfix which seems to provide the basic
functionality of sending a mail.

after trying to send a mail to my self using telnet, a file with the
following content appears in my maildir (/home/joe/.maildir/new):

Return-Path: <joe>
X-Original-To: joe
Delivered-To: joe
Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])
by home.mindfield.dk (Postfix) with SMTP id AAFE520022
for <joe>; Thu, 7 Jun 2007 15:18:58 +0200 (CEST)
Subject:this is a test
Message-Id: <20070607131936.AAFE520022>
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 15:18:58 +0200 (CEST)
From: joe
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
This is a test.

So I guess both the sending part and the reciving part went ok...

Question: how do I check my mail by using a mail klient....

I have tried setting thunderbird to use the following info:

imap: home.mindfield.dk
user: joe

When I try to access my inbox Thunderbird asks for password (a good
thing of course) and I supply my linux account password.

This is where the trouble starts.... Thunderbird claims it's not the
valid password, but as I havent setup any other password when I installed
Courier-imap what password dos it want?

Any help appreciated.
