Re: Cyrus - can't create user mailbox

[Michael Menge]

Quoting Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

$ cat /etc/imapd.conf | grep unixhierarchysep
unixhierarchysep: yes


It is set as "yes"

yes and 1 mean the same, unixhierarchsep is used.

To create a Inbox for the user satimiscyrus you have to use
cm user/satimiscyrus

The ^ is the reperentation of the . on filesystem.

Tried to delete the mailbox without success.  Performed following
steps;


$ su - cyrus
Password:

$ cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password:
localhost> dm user.satimiscyrus
deletemailbox: Permission denied

I can't delete the mailbox created previously.

as stated from cyradm the user cyrus does not have the permission to delete
the mailbox. Use "sam user.satimiscyrus cyrus c" or

"sam user.satimiscyrus cyrus all" the first will only set the permission to create subfolders and to delete the folder, the seconds gives cyrus all permissions

Continued

localhost> cm user/satimiscyrus
localhost> lm
user.groupware (\HasNoChildren)     user/satimiscyrus (\HasNoChildren)

user.satimiscyrus (\HasNoChildren)

Still can't create the subdirectory.

which subdirectory? user/satimiscyrus has been created
(second solder on first line)

Continued
localhost> quit
$ exit
logout


$ sudo updatedb


$ locate satimiscyrus
/home/satimiscyrus
/home/satimiscyrus/.bash_history
/home/satimiscyrus/.bash_logout
/home/satimiscyrus/.bash_profile
/home/satimiscyrus/.bashrc
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/s/user/satimiscyrus
/var/spool/cyrus/mail/s/user/satimiscyrus/cyrus.cache

/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus/cyrus.cache

/var/spool/cyrus/mail/u/user^satimiscyrus/cyrus.index
* end *

Send a webmail to satimiscyrus on Gmail.  The mail never arrives.
