Hi,

I have setup cyrus-imapd version 2.2. But when a mail client tried to
connect to pop3, it failed with the following error:

pop3[41554]: Unable to locate maildrop for sam: Mailbox does not exist

I have tried cyradm, but it does only create Mailbox in the
/var/spool/imap directory:

 > cm Mailbox
 > sam Mailbox sam lrswipcd
 > lam
usage: listaclmailbox mailbox
 > lm Mailbox
Mailbox (\HasNoChildren)  > lam Mailbox
sam lrswipcd
anyone lrs

Thanks

Sam,

The create mailbox command shown above only creates a shared mailbox named Mailbox, not an inbox for the user sam. You need to use:

cm user.username
(for unixhierarchysep set to no)

or

cm user/username
(for unixhierarchysep set to yes)

That will implicitly create the user's INBOX and set the proper permissions for that user. You would only need to do a sam on the user's INBOX if you were giving another user permission to access that mailbox.

Hope this helps,
Will
