That is, I have no problems except with the default domain, and that appears to be a client-side problem. 1) I have found that cyrus-imapd 2.2.8 only accepts defaultdomain if it is in /etc/hosts, ie: ::1 localhost.defaultdomain.tld localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.defaultdomain.tld localhost Removing 'localhost.defaultdomain.tld' will let you set default domain to anything. Wierd...? Something about that cyrus does a reverse lookup. 2) Adding accounts for default domain will/should show up without @defaultdomain.tld, and you might as well just omit that part when you create the mailbox. 3) I have reported a bug with mozilla mail client, it can't get mail for mailbox'es in the default domain. Things works when I use squirrelmail. 4) I do not use mysql backend for authentication, but that shouldn't matter. I cannot confirm that you can't create a mailbox for a nonexisting user - in fact, i created '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' using cyradm. Finally: From what you write, it is not clear if you have problems adding a mailbox to the default domain or to some virtual domain. Maybe include the imapd.conf, be explicit about what is virtual domain and what is the defauld domain. Regarding howtos: There is a wiki, http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/, and see the doc's dir included with the source. True, the documen- tation is really sparce: When upgrading from a single domain installation to a virtual domain installation, the name of the existing domain (domain of the server hostname) should be specified using the defaultdomain option in imapd.conf. This allows users to continue to access their mailboxes using unqualified userids. For example, if the primary IP address on your server resolves to 'www.xxx.yyy.zzz', then set defaultdomain to 'xxx.yyy.zzz'. It would be nice to know if you are having trouble with your default domain or your virtual domain(s).
