I'm getting there, but I could do with some help since I'm confused about Cyrus imap, folders and mail delivery.

More precisely there are two things that confuse me.

1. All folders I create with cyradm are listed by mail clients as "Shared Folders/user.<id>" What is the meaning of this?

2. Mail seems to be delivered if I alter the ACL for the user folders to "sam user.<id> postman post". However, the messages seem to disappear. My mail programs can't find anything in the folders. Where are the messages? What do I need to do to make them appear for the mail clients?

I did get delivery to work. I'd like to say work properly, but I don't think I can. The whole thing feels very botched.

Editing the cyrus line in master.cf from the perfectly sensible:
Quote:

cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -r ${sender} -m ${extension} ${user}

to the rather weird:
Quote:

cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
flags= user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a ${user} -r ${sender} -m user.${user}

makes it work.

I do wonder why the "-a ${user}" is required.

I wonder even more why "-m user.${user}" is required, since that's supposed to be equivalent to just "${user}". Oh, well...

So it works, but something's wrong.
