mail on my system is all within 1 tree as described in /etc/imapd.conf and in my case... /var/spool/imap any files in user directories belong to something else. also, administrators in imapd.conf should be cyrus and you should have a known password for cyrus. as for logging in to cyradm and using cyradm, I tend to use su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyradm localhost' to connect and then to create a mailbox... cm user.craig Again, I don't know where things lay out in SuSE install but my guess is that it would be somewhat similar and you can check the man pages...most specifically: man imapd.conf man saslauthd Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
