Oke I think I'am almost there. I did miss the openldap libraries so I installed them and reconfigured cyrus sasl. When I run the command 'saslauthd -v' ldap is aviable :-) So I executed the command 'saslauthd -a ldap and I needed to create an extra directory but after that I didn't get a error message. In my imapd.conf I did add some extra lines. My imapd.conf looks now like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------- # Debian Cyrus imapd.conf # See imapd.conf(5) for more information # Configuration directory configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus # Which partition to use for default mailboxes defaultpartition: default partition-default: /var/spool/cyrus/mail # News setup partition-news: /var/spool/cyrus/news newsspool: /var/spool/news # Uncomment the following and add the space-separated users who # have admin rights admins:root cyrus # No anonymous logins allowanonymouslogin: no # Minimum time between POP mail fetches in minutes popminpoll: 1 # umask used by Cyrus programs umask: 077 sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN --------------------------------------------------------------------------- But when I try to start outlook express and create a new mailbox I get the following error message: Fatal error: invalid option name on line 28 of configuration file In my imapd.conf is line 28: sasl_pwcheck_method Is there another package I need to install or is there again something I did forget?

If you compiled, did you used the "--with-ldap" switch to configure ? Do you have OpenLDAP and assorted libs installed ?
