Actually this morning I realise that what I've written isn't right, I
was getting confused by some old test files from one of many previous
attempts. So here goes:
-- Mail to default domain user 'myuid' gets stored in
/var/spool/imap/user/myuid and is correctly picked up by a pop login.
-- Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't get stored in
/var/spool/imap/domain/myvdomain/user/otheruid although the dir exists.
I don't know where if anywhere it ends up.
So I guess that's the problem. What should I set postfix's
virtual_mailbox_base to, and what should I set cyrus's
partition-default to? What owners should these dirs have? It seems
obvious postfix shouldn't point to /var/mail although that's what all
the documentation seems to say. I've gone around and around this, which
is why my previous message was so confused (and posted 2.30am local
time).
Thanks in advance

I am using cyrus on freeBSD 5.2 with postfix.
Mail to default domain seems to work ok. Mail to virtual mailbox user
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' gets put in '/var/mail/foo.bar/example', but logging
in with pop or imap doesn't retrieve the mail. There's no error
messages during delivery or pop login.
I have postfix with virtual_mailbox_maps showing [EMAIL PROTECTED] as
mapping to /var/mail/foo.bar/example so I can see how the mail reaches
that place, but no combination of imapd.conf settings that I've tried
seems to let cyrus find it there. Maybe it's a stupid question, but I
somehow don't understand how to set partition-default so that it works
without permission errors -- it was set to /var/spool/imap which
contained user/ and domain/ but I can't see how to mesh these with
/var/mail/
It may be rather dumb of me but I've spent a lot of hours trying a lot
of permutations of directories etc. without getting this to work, so
even if it's obvious I'd appreciate any suggestions.
