1. sasldb access For the hell of it I changed access to Sasldb* to 777
-rwxrwxrwx 1 cyrus mail 16384 Dec 20 21:20 sasldb.db -rwxrwxrwx 1 cyrus mail 16384 Dec 21 13:27 sasldb2.db %cyradm -user cyrus --auth digest-md5 localhost imap Password: localhost> cm user.jdoe createmailbox: Permission denied localhost> sasldblistusers2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword [EMAIL PROTECTED]: userPassword A> So shouldn't be a file permission issue ------------------------------------------ 2. imapd.conf Editted imapd.conf to have cyrus as admin adomain# more imapd.conf | grep admin admins: cyrus As as Cyrus did following: %cyradm -user cyrus --auth digest-md5 localhost imap Password: localhost> cm user.jdoe localhost> A> Cyrus is now included as admin. For a change no Error message!! ------------------------------------------ So Lesson learnt from this is ensure cyrus is included in the imapd.conf as admin as it isn't by default on FreeBSD Thanks everyone for the help all.
