I am glad to know the new syntax. In fact when I tried your
command, cyradm came back giving me the correct command:
usage: createmailbox [--partition partition] mailbox [partition]
However your command seems to have worked. I wonder what possible
partition combinations are allowed in the above syntax; in other
words why partition parameter is repeated!
Before I was using the syntax provided in the man page of cyradm:
createmailbox mailbox [partition]
The createmailbox (or cm) command creates a new mail
box named mailbox. The optional partition argument
specifies the partition name on which to create the
mailbox.
Hopefully man page gets updated soon with the new syntax.
Thanks
