I have just installed the Cyrus Woody Backport. It is mostly/partly working. The IMAP server comes up and I am able to authenticate using LDAP. The first problem that I saw was when I attempted to copy messages from another IMAP server (PMDF MessageStore) to my new mailbox on Cyrus. I get an Append failure that complained about the date-time format. I get the same error when I attempt to copy messages from an Exchange server as well.
In attempting to figure out how to get this woking it looks like I have "broken" the Cryus installation. Hard to remember all of the iterations I have been through, but my other servers user "/" as the hierarchy separator and I had started the Cyrus server with the default ".". I have changed it back and for several times.
I am now at a state where I cannot list any mailboxes. With cyradm I get:
localhost> lm localhost> cm "user/mac" createmailbox: Permission denied
But, look at what I get when I telnet to 143:
telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK gw2x Cyrus IMAP4 v2.1.16-IPv6-Debian-2.1.16-4 server ready a login username secure a OK User logged in a list * "" * LIST (\Noselect) "/" "" a OK Completed (0.000 secs 0 calls) a select "user/mac" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)] * 1 EXISTS * 1 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1079020307] * OK [UIDNEXT 2] a OK [READ-WRITE] Completed a logout * BYE LOGOUT received a OK Completed
I got that one message in there by using Mulberry and saving a draft to the folder.
I suspect at the least that the mailboxes list is having problems, but I don't know how to rebuild it. When I try using cyrreconstruct -m I get:
/usr/sbin/cyrreconstruct -m reconstructing mailboxes.db currently not supported
But, maybe I am way off base. I would appreciate some suggestions for what I should try next.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
