    This shouldn't be an issue. You can ignore those warnings which I'll remove in next i-MSCP version. It seem that some checks for the ownership of files stored under the Postfix queue directory were added but here, the ownership is not expected to be postfix since the authdaemon directory is mounted from /var/run/courier/authdaemon. Indeed, when you use courier as imap/pop server courier-authdaemon is used for SASL and IMAP authentication.

    The link you posted refer to a bug which prevent mounting of the /var/run/courier/authdaemon directory under the /var/spool/postfix/private/authdaemon directory. This affect only some VPS such as OpenVZ.
