Re: Cyrus - can't create user mailbox

Hi Stephen,

Quoting Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> $ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
> Password:
> localhost> cm user.satimiscyrus
> localhost> quit

> it works.  But I can't find this new user NOR its mailbox.

$ locate satimiscyrus
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus/cyrus.cache
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus/cyrus.header
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus/cyrus.index


The mailbox is there.  What is user^ for?

This indicates that you have set unixhierarchysep: 1 in /etc/imapd.conf
To create a Inbox for the user satimiscyrus you have to use
cm user/satimiscyrus

The ^ is the reperentation of the . on filesystem.

$ cyradm -u satimiscyrus localhost
Password:
localhost> lm user.satimiscyrus
user.satimiscyrus (HasNoChildren)


What does (HasNoChildren) indicate ?

This means there are no subfolders

localhost> lm satimiscyrus
localhost> lm satimiscyrus.%
both without printout.
