Hi Erez,
I was having problems delivering to folders as well. I sent the two
attached patches I wrote to the list a few days ago before 2.0.12 was
released. The patches fixed the foldering problem for me in 2.0.11. I
don't think my message ever made it through (judging from the web
archives), though, because I wasn't on the list at the time. When
2.0.12 came out I took a look at the source and it looked like they had
fixed the problem, so I didn't re-post after I joined the list.
It sounds to me like you're suffering from a different problem since the
first example you gave should have worked as it doesn't use foldering at
all, but I'm sending you my patches just in case. If others have used
foldering in 2.0.12, then the changes won't be necessary (in any case,
the patches will only work with 2.0.11, but they'll give you an idea of
why foldering didn't work before).
Your problems sounds more like a permissions problem to me, judging from
the fact that your first example didn't work. I'd check into the
permissions on your sasldb and /var/spool/imap/user/test/ . Or maybe
you don't have a "test" user in your sasldb and Cyrus is looking for the
user there rather than in your local Unix accounts.
Good luck.
