I got the same error when adding "-u cyrus -auth login"... BTW, "imtest" authenticates without problems:
su-2.05$ imtest -u cyrus -m login localhost C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * OK smith Cyrus IMAP4 v2.0.16 server ready S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT MULTIAPPEND SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES IDLE S: C01 OK Completed Password: C: L01 LOGIN cyrus {8} + go ahead C: <omitted> L01 OK User logged in Authenticated. Security strength factor: 0 I'm using sasldb for authentication.
