I do not have permanent solution but I have solved the problem as under :

I have downloaded Autocreate INBOX patch for Cyrus From  http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/
Go to your cyrus installation root directory in my case /usr/local/src/cyrus/
Apply patch to cyrus source with file   with   cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff  as under

patch -p0 < cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-autocreate-0.1.diff

The cyrus source of cyrus-imapd-2.2.10 will get patched
stop master  and saslauthd
in my case
/etc/init.d/cyrus stop

recompile cyrus

#cd cyrus-imapd-2.2.10
#./configure \
--with-sasl=/usr/local/lib \
--with-perl \
--with-auth=unix \
--with-dbdir=/usr/local/bdb \
--with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/bdb/lib \
--with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/bdb/include \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--without-ucdsnmp \
--with-cyrus-user=cyrus \
--with-cyrus-group=mail \

#make
#make depend
#make install

Add following entries to /etc/imapd.conf

autocreateinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
autosubscribeinboxfolders: sent-mail | Drafts | Templates | Trash
Also check for proper value of   autocreatequota:  in /etc/imapd.conf
autocreatequota: 10000

restart master and saslauthd

/etc/init.d/cyrus start

now you can create user and whenever the user logs in with proper password , the mailbox is automatically created with default quota and the folders mentioned in imapd.conf

This has made me possible that at lease the work is not hampered

As far as the problen of  Permission Denied is considered it appears to be some problem in cyrus  .
I am sure that there is no permission problem on my server as evertthing was working fine on cyrus 2.0.16 and I do not see in any of documentation / mailing list that in cyrus-2.2.10 any permissions are changed

There is some problem how cyrus is working with virtual domain but in none of the server logs the problem is trapped

I  hope some expert will definately look into this problem and help us

Regards

AJIT

No I know about ACL but it is not problem related to ACL
I again repeat what is happening

The server is running OK on around 1500 users
I am able to log in to cyradm through administrsative account
If I try to create mail box I am getting permission denied error
If I try to issue any command on mailbox then I am getting mailbox not found error even though mailbox is available

Aldo all  programs when run as cyrus user from /usr/cyrus/bin/ are working OK

It means I can reconstruct mailbox from shell prompt  in /usr/cyrus/bin/ it ids working OK but If I try same in cyradm then I am getting permission denied error

Please Give me some clue as I need to add some users and my work is stuck up

Regards ,

Set the ACL for whatever user you are using with cyradm on the mailbox you
want to modify or delete to the same ACL as the mail box owner.

listacl mailbox
setacl mailbox cyrususer acl

FYI a search of the archives would have answered this for you  :)

Subject: NOT ABLE TO ADMINISTER MAIL BOXES WITH CYRUS-2.2.10


I was succesfully running cyrus-2.0.16 with sasl-2.1.10 and everything was working fine

I have upgraded to cyrus-impad-2.2.10 and except cyrus administration part everything is fine
If I administer cyrus though cyradm then I am able to log in but I am getting Permission denied error
I am not able to do anything with mailboxes

I have php based mail administration tool for cyrus but php is also geeting error of unknown mailbox from cyrus
