Thanx,
That fixed the problem. I was not aware that these things could be controlled in conf.php :)
--- Use username_tolower: yes
You can also easily fix imp to lowercase usernames. [ done :) ] ---
I suspect that our version: 2.1.16 does not seem to support this feature.
Thanx again all for your help !
bye, Chris

Hi all !
Our users are pretty much used to use imp for webmail. Unfortunately after
migrating to cyrus some have been scared like hell, all their email was
lost! Or so it seemed :)

lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes

Above is configured in imapd.conf. But when a user enters his/her username
with some capital letter in it, they will be authenticated succesfully and
see a empy mailbox :(
Is there any other option I could set to help them ?
Here is what we use in imp/config/conf.php:
$conf['hooks']['vinfo'] = 'imp_get_vinfo';
if (!function_exists('imp_get_vinfo')) { function imp_get_vinfo ($type = 'username') { if ($type == 'username') { return strtolower($_SESSION['imp']['user']); } else { return new PEAR_Error('invalid type: ' . $type); } } }
We had a similar problem here, although I don't remember users seeing an empty mailbox. Our users would have different prefs in imp if they changed case. This forces all imp logins to lowercase.
