About two months ago, I posted the query quoted below. Eventually, with assistance from one of the FastMail support reps, I discovered a solution. Some clients (including Entourage and Apple Mail) do not work correctly with the default port configuration for the Cyrus IMAP server. This is particularly surprising, since Cyrus is included with Mac OS X Server.
If Entourage is set to use the default port for IMAP via SSL (993), it is not compatible with the folder namespace conventions of Cyrus. Fortunately, Cyrus provides an alternate port (992) which allows clients to see a remapped folder namespace. More geeky details are provided in this page: <http://blog.fastmail.fm/2008/08/11/alternate-namespace-imap-port-may-help-o utlook-ol-express-apple-mail-and-bis-users/> <http://blog.fastmail.fm/2009/03/13/apple-mail-getting-buggier-use-alternate -imap-port/> > I am migrating to a new email provider (FastMail.fm).
