No, not to cryptic, just not clear? :) I've checked the man page so let me try to ask my question again. I have the following in my imapd.conf file: configdirectory: /var/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap altnamespace: yes userprefix: user postuser: share I created "testbox" using cyradm. This shows up on the partition as /var/spool/imap/testbox/. With my imapd.conf set as pasted here, (notice no shareprefix is set) mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] does get delivered right. Now, given all that, I can, without changing the physical mailbox "testbox" change my imapd.conf to remove the postuser line and add shareprefix: user. After restarting cyrus imapd posting still works. So, maybe i'm missing something about how userprefix, shareprefix, and altnamespace interact? -- Scott Russell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Linux Technology Center, System Admin, RHCE.
