Hi all, I'm actually experiencing the same problem. I'd not had any need for partitions until recently (lots of growth). However, I can't seem to get them to work, even after shutting down everything IMAP-related, and killing any stray processes (there weren't any).
I'm getting "Unknown/invalid partition" while using the example from the O'Reilly book (Chapter 9). ------------------------------- Here's the pertinent imapd.conf lines: ------------------------------- defaultpartition: default # The directory for the different partitions # partition-default: /misc1/spool/imap partition-1: /misc2/spool/imap ------------------------------- Here's a cut and paste example: ------------------------------- localhost> cm user/testmailbox 1 createmailbox: Unknown/invalid partition ------------------------------- (Yes, I'm using unix hierarchy) Thanks, Michael King, Systems Administrator Web International, Inc.
