9) If you installed the cyrus-imapd rpms and didn't change anything, cyrus-imapd will use saslauthd->pam/system-auth for authentication. This means that on a default RedHat install where users are stored in /etc/passwd * /etc/shadow, you'll have to set a password for the cyrus unix user. Try: passwd cyrus 10) If you're using postfix, you'll have put someting like this in /etc/postfix/main.cf to let postfix deliver mail to cyrus-imapd via lmtp: mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp If you're using sendmail, I can't help you but I know people on this list know exactly how to configure it for cyrus-imapd.
