Well, I think I found the issue... my hostname is favre.iscdev.com
when I first created user jvilla I created him to the full domain favre.iscdev.com... so when I did cyradmin .... localhost, he was the only user which was a part of favre.... i.e localhost I then removed jvilla from favre.iscdev.com and he was unable to log in... I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] to sasldb2 and he can now log in and I've created an IMAP dir... thanks for the reply. On Fri, 2004-04-30 at 01:37, Andreas Winkelmann wrote: > Am Freitag, 30.
