Looks like your permissions are wrong.
I think there are no wrong permissions but you simply do verbose logging
and when starting with not existing dbs, those logs appear and the dbs are
created. However, are you sure you really are using /var/spool/imap for
the databases?
Definitely sure, its how I have it defined in my imapd.conf file ...
And, are you sure your cyrus group is "cyrus", not "mail", which is
usually the case.
Now, this one is how mkimap is setting it up, so I'm pretty sure this is
right ... not something I've ever set ... has never caused a problem, and
been using cyrus-imapd for, god, 8+ years now ...

If I were you I'd use skiplist for all the databases that are db4 by
default
...
What is skiplist, and what does it give over db4? And, of course, what
drawbacks are there to it?
It's a database backend usable in cyrus instead of BDB. What it gives you
is that it usually works, the drawbacks are that it may be slower than BDB
in certain situations. In my case stability is most important and I
couldn't find anything to be slower or some kind of increased load when I
was swithing to skiplist only. But, the most important thing it gives you
is compatibility, you never depend on the BDB version of libs installed on
your system and you don't have to care about ondisk format of BDB files.
It has been a blessing for me and many others, YMMV.
'k, first question .. under what situation would I find it slower? And
is it noticeable, or would I have to really be looking for it?
And ... were I to go this route ... what's involved in converting an
"existing" installation? Is it relatively easy to do?
