Thanks for your responses! I tried to install cyrus from sources before. seems like this installation had messed up something like sasl or something. I simply installed the rpms again, and Cyrus at least runs OK.
I set up a couple accounts, but now I can't read mail from these accounts. systen log says, that user has logged in. The mail does not bouce back, so where could I look at it? I can see local mail with pine, and can send mail with command line or pine to local users, but it never gets delivered to imap. I'm sure that this is in the docs, but I could not find it.
