Paul, Thank you ! Reading the NC world article, I felt like I could have written it myself.... I've been through the whole procedure so many times, and actually followed everything to the letter. However, the article made me go potter on the machine again and I decided to check which files/directories my cyrus administrator did not have access to : suddenly some imap files in /usr/local/etc/ showed up, including imapd.conf ! As it turns out, I've been using /etc/imapd.conf for my configuration (since the first time I tried cyrus, I started out with the cyrus source) but the port uses /etc/local/etc/imapd.conf. As so often happens, within 10 minutes of waking up, solve something that stumped me for hours last nite. Thanks indeed :) chas >Take a look at NC World, they have an article on setting up a IMAP4 >Server on Linux using Cyrus. The admin side should be the same for all >verions of Unix.
