cyrus imapd user.root mailbox

[GOD]Anck · 03-24-2005, 03:32 AM

I've installed the Cyrus imap server, and created mailboxes through the commandline cyradm program. I've used "cm user.name" for this. It works fine for normal users, but then I added a mailbox for root, and cyrus decided not to follow the user.name scheme anymore, creating instead an INBOX. What's worse, I can't seem to delete or rename this mailbox.

My commands & relevant output:

Code:

mailsuse:/var/spool/imap/user # cyradm
cyradm> connect localhost
IMAP Password:localhost.localdomain> cm user.root
lm
INBOX (\HasNoChildren)            user.test.Sent (\HasNoChildren)
user.test (\HasChildren)          user.test.Trash (\HasNoChildren)
localhost.localdomain> lam INBOX
root lrswipcda
localhost.localdomain> dm INBOX
deletemailbox: Operation is not supported on mailbox
localhost.localdomain> rename INBOX user.blah
renamemailbox: Operation is not supported on mailbox

What do I do? I'd like to have a normal user.root mailbox if possible.

Oh dear, never mind.. it seems that cyradm shows you a different name for your own mailboxes.. being authenticated to it as root, that would display user.root as INBOX. I created a new mailadmin user and authenticated to cyradm as that user, now lm shows user.root as I expected it to.
