Re: Creating mailboxes with cyradm - useraccount with a 'dot'

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

If you use unixhierarchysep: 0 in you /etc/imapd.conf (which is default)
the . is used as hierarchyseperator.



There are two way use ^ to replace .

cm user.peter^testaccount

Or use unixhierarchysep: 1 so / is used as hierarchyseperator.

cm user/peter.testaccount

Regards

        Michael

Quoting "Kuhlemann, Stefan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

So in your case user.peter.testaccount would be the Folder testaccount of the user peter.

Hi mailinglist.

( newbie qestion ahead ;-) )

At the moment I am experimenting with cyrus, running on fedora 7.

Problem:
Creating mailboxes with cyradm works fine until I want to create a
mailbox for a account like 'peter.testaccount':

In cyradm:

cm user.peter.testaccount
createmailbox: Permission denied

While it seems to be logical to me, that mailboxnames with a dot are not
working out-of-the-box because of the way cyrus organizes it's mailboxes
(user.<mboxname>.<subfolder>), it would be nice, if sombody could give
me a hint - how to cope with useraccounts with a 'dot' in them and the
corresponding cyrus IMAP mailboxes.

Thanks for your help in advance...

Stefan
