Try ./configure --with-pwcheck=/some/path /some/path is the path to the socket that pwcheck uses to communicate with IMAPd. You also need to compile and run the pwcheck daemon that comes with Cyrus. > All these doesn;'t work, though I specify in > imapd.conf > sasl_pwcheck_method: shadow(or pwcheck) > sasl_passwd_check: shadow(or pwcheck) > So, I can get imapd work only with checking > through default sasldb. > > Please, hint... > sasl_pwcheck_method: pwcheck will work once SASL is compiled to support it.
undeletable mailboxes created by outlook-express
Hi, some users in our network are using outlook express. At the first start oe created the toplevel-mailboxes 1.gelöschte Objekte 2.Entwürfe 3.trash with the rights anyone lrs. These mailboxes should be created in the user.Inbox. Now these mailboxes could not be deleted neither by the users nor by cyrus via cyradm. Error: Permission denied? How can i get rid of this rubbish? ciao dieter franzke -- made with pure L I N U X
PAM woes
Hello, Just a note about PAM and 2.0.16. The cyrus user must be able to read /etc/pam.d/imap in order for PAM authentication to work under 2.0.16. When using 1.6.24 the cyrus user *does not* need to have read access to /etc/pam.d/imap I ran into that problem last night trying to upgrade. :-)

In order to delete a mailbox, the user must have the 'c' right. This will eventually be changed to 'x' so that 'c' is not overloaded. Ken -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

Re: undeletable mailboxes created by outlook-express
You lucky, I had the same problem yesterday and the post from Scott on the second of feb this year was my solution. I still had the page open so here is the important bits. This assumes you have tried using sam in cyradm to set the right permissions to delete it (this the right way). If that does not work, as it did not work for me, them try this: > 1. Run ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.temp to dump existing mailboxes. > 2. Remove mailboxes.db file: rm mailboxes.db > 3. Edit mboxlist.temp to remove the folder > 4. Run ctl_mboxlist -u < mboxlist.temp to change the contents of > mailboxes.db.

Re: "sticky" cyradm and quota
Max,
I thought you may find this useful, so I wanted to let you know. I was speaking
with a colleague the other day who was experiencing the same problem with the
"sticky" mailbox syndrome and his solution to the problem was:
1) Wait for the user to call and complain something was wrong.
2) Under /var/imap/proc, find the user's imap sessions and kill them with the
following command:
kill `grep * | cut -f1 -d":"`
3) Then search for the locked LTMP process with the following command:
ps -efl | grep lmtp
4) Look for the process that's been hanging around for a while, and kill the PID.
I haven't actually tried this yet, but it seems like it would work. Does anyone
see any problems with this method?

Unable to fetch new headers Outlook
Hello, I am trying to fetch mail from an IMAP 2.0.16 server using STARTTLS for encrypting the session. I can send mail via the command line and retrieve it on the server by telneting to port 143 so I know the server is for the most part working. However when I try to retrrieve my mail using Microsoft Outlook 2000 I get the password prompt with the lock icon which tells me this is a secure channel. Then I get the following error: "Could not fetch new headers in the inbox for 204.34.217.9. An unknown error has occured. Please save existing work and restarting the program." I have the following entry in syslog.conf: local6.debug/var/log/imapd.log However the log tells me nothing. I configured Outlook to use IMAP on port 143 and to require a secure connection. Could someon please give me some feedback on this. I would appreciate it thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo! Messenger http://phonecard.yahoo.com/

IIRC, Outlook does not use STARTTLS, but it will use imaps (SSL tunneled imap -- typically on port 993). Setup an imaps service in imapd.conf and then check the appropriate box for encryption in Outlook (I don't have an Outlook 2000 client in front of me). Ken -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.

chirs charter wrote: > Does Outlook Express use STARTTLS? No. When you check the 'secure server' checkbox it will switch to port 993 automatically. However, if you've got STARTTLS working in IMAPd OK, all you have to do to get imaps working is to uncomment the appropriate line in /etc/imapd.conf.
