I am using Debian Woody with Exim. I followed the cyrus-howto and I did read the install documentation in the /usr/docs/cyrus-common/, but I get errors when I leave in sasl info.
This /etc/imapd.conf without sasl seems to work: # Configuration directory configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus # Which partition to use for default mailboxes defaultpartition: default partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail # News setup #partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news #newsspool: /var/spool/news # Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who # have admin rights admins: t5 cyrus # Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes popminpoll: 1 # umask used by Cyrus programs umask: 077 srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab # No anonymous logins allowanonymouslogin: no #sasl_passwd_check: shadow t5@washmail:~$ telnet washmail imap Trying 127.0.0.1...

Any ideas on how to fix this ? t5@washmail:~$ telnet washmail imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to washmail.
