You *really* should read the Cyrus docs so you have a basic understanding of what you dealing with.
source, the only ways that you can get the "Invalid mailbox name" error is if the name includes a wildcard, a trailing separator, is too long or you're trying to create a mailbox in a different domain.
OK, now THAT is weird. Since I'm sure I'm not doing any of that.
You might not, but we don't know what the client is doing until we see the telemetry. Look for the 'configdir' option in /etc/imapd.conf and then create a <configdir>/log/<userid> directory (writable by the cyrus user), where <configdir> is the directory specified by the configdir option and <userid> is the userid of the user trying to create a folder.
The directory you create will start to fill up with telemetry logs (one per connection) named by pid.

I know that THAT isn't the problem. Since it worked BEFORE this doofus came in and completely changed the imap system (without providing any notes to anyone). :) Our copy of SquirrelMail HAS NOT CHANGED since the 'old days', when we ran plain old despicable UW IMAPD, and things just worked. So since SquirrelMail has NOT changed (no, we haven't even upraded it!)... I know that's not it.

Right -- squirrelmail still needs them to subscribe to the folders.
What mailbox name are you trying to create?
A valid name. You know, like "asdfasdf". All letters, only a few characters. I'm dense, but I'm not THAT dense. I tried many 'valid' names. "testing", "asdfsadf", "fnord", "foobar"... I didn't try to create a mailbox called "[EMAIL PROTECTED] * 5u2t/t 9898#" or anything ;)
Unless you are using altnamespace, you probably want to create INBOX.whatever.
In the Folder Settings page of SquirrelMail's server configuration (i.e. when you run "config/conf.pl" from the SquirrelMail base directory), it specifies that the default folder 'prefix' is indeed INBOX.
Ah, then you are creating INBOX.testing and so on.
I wonder if there is an extra character that shouldn't be there sneaking in (like a newline).
