--disable-root-check
Also consider adding --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs
It will help you, believe me.

I miss the simplicity of life with Debian Unstable. Or of having someone else do the dirty work.
Oh wait, new error:
...
Making check in imap
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/courier-imap-2.2.1/imap'
Error: --with-trashquota or the --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs
option was specified to the configure script.
As INSTALL told you, make check fails if these options are used, and I wasn't
kidding when I wrote it. Reconfigure and rebuild without these options, then
rerun make and make check. If make check passes, reconfigure again with your
original options, and proceed with installing this server. Have fun!

Can I suggest freebsd? More MacOS-ish (and in fact the ports tree in freebsd has been ported to OSX as "darwinports" by Jordan Hubbard).

Actually Red Hat wants to be just like windows. So for your pleasure and pain they have also tried to make windoze like nuances a part of their system :). They have been sucessful and congrats. And Jace, congrats to you too, finally something other than bikes gave you pain there!
I am laughing now, coz i zapped my fedora core to kingdom come. And now i am at peace with the universe.
What I am running. Well its the devils own till mandrake 9.2 tommorow :)
And why did i zap fedora. Thats a long story, maybe some day on my journal!!

I tried RH9 on one of my boxen, for lack of choice. Took me all night to set up mail because my only option apart from doing everything from source, was to use the qmail-toaster package. This is more trouble than its worth and all the bells and whistles didn't work as intended.
I went back to 7.2 for a new box, with no problems. I'll use it as long as I can keep it hole-free. After that,
# cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail
# make install
