I was able to sort out the issue with the Case sensitivity, but the username with a dot sign is still not being allowed.
I have added two entries to the imapd.conf file and restarted the server. unixhierarchysep: yes lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes when I try to create the account in cyradm using the command createmailbox user.gary.hogman I get this error createmailbox: Permission denied Can anyone please suggest how to sort out this mailbox creation issue. I want to be able to create mailboxes using a dot sign to separate their first and last name. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
