Scott, Thanks for the help... I believe I will not aware there is such utility if you don't tell me... =)
Indeed, I am still encountering the same problem.. and please find what I have done below, 1. run mkimap as root (since error show up if I run as user cyrus) 2. chown -R cyrus:mail /var/imap, /var/spool/imap, /usr/sieve 3. run dohash as cyrus and see the following error message cyrus@uatwebmail:/home/ronnie/software/cyrus-imapd-2.1.3/tools> ./ dohash Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 1) line 9, <DATA> line 209. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 1) line 17, <DATA> line 209.

Apr 30 12:30:14 uatwebmail imapd[14389]: badlogin: localhost[127.0.0.1] plaintext ronnie SASL(-4): no mechanism available: checkpass failed Apr 30 12:30:17 uatwebmail imapd[14389]: unable to tell master 1: Broken pipe And please correct me if I am wrong. What I want to do with the password is, keep them as plaintext and use plaintext validation. Since I think this will be the most simple setup. And one more question is, what should I consider when I am using Sendmail to authenticate against the sasldb? Will plaintext work with Sendmail? Many thanks again.
