Let me make sure I've got the antecedant right--by "that" you mean cyradm isn't creating INBOXes for regular users? > Right, cyrus runs as user cyrus, mailadm is the mail administrator account. > > How do I get a login to cyradm without having a user account?

The 'mailadm' account _should_ be a regular UNIX account (assuming I remember correctly that you're using shadow or PAM authentication) with a regular password set AND you have to be allowing PLAIN or LOGIN SASL mechs ONLY. (And you shouldn't create a mailbox for the mailadm user, but I think you've figured that part out.) > imapd.conf is pointing to /var/imap for partition-default.

Hm, well, I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention to understand what's going on, or something wacky is going on. They shouldn't be there anyway; they should be in partition-default, which also is generally /var/spool/imap--/var/imap or /var/lib/imap is used for other configuration info.
