If you just create the Unix > account, it will not receive mail! Partly true. Based on the packaging by Simon Matter the Cyrus-IMAPd on FC2 has the autocreate patch, see http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/ Thus - if you configure it proper - INBOXes can be created automagically. > That's because Cyrus does not care about the Unix user database, it uses > its own.

Right, though I would not call it artifact. It is like with the MTA, which you can too configure to authenticate against a system independent user database (i.e. sasldb, ldap, mysql). > Florin Andrei Btw. thanks for your effort to explain new Cyrus-IMAPd users some important features and configuration steps in the other list mailing. The only thing which I do not understand is, why you said following: 0. Fix saslauthd Edit /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd and change MECH to "pam": MECH=pam Then (re)start saslauthd Is that really a needed step? If yes, then saslauthd became broken as it worked withouth problems on FC1. Can you confirm that MECH=shadow does not work?! Would be worth a bugzilla entry then.
