I've been struggling with figuring out how to set up a sieve vacation reply script. The documentation on this is pretty sparse, and the stuff I do find doesn't work. For example, [cyrus@www ~]$ sieveshell --user=resea...@episcopalarchives.org --authname=cyrus localhost connecting to localho

A couple of months ago I upgraded to 2.5.3 and had one user who suddenly couldn't access several of his mail folders. The folder names were displayed in the Thunderbird side panel in grey italics. I ran these commands: # systemctl stop cyrus-master # su - cyrus # /usr/lib/cyrus/bin
