Cyrus daemon is running, but login fails.

blubber

I emerge cyrus-imapd, and the daemon is running. I can login using telnet localhost 143. But imtest -m login localhost gives the following error:
connect: Connection refused
failure: Network initialization

I can't find any relevant entry in the logfiles, what am I doing wrong?

what authentication are you using ? pam ? pwauthd ? can you login via port 110 (also by cyrus) ?

try:
telnet localhost 110
user <username>
pass <password>

this *should* work, if not check your authentication config ...

That doesn't work, my auth.log has the following entry:
imapd[3138]: mysql plugin couldnt connect to any host

But I'm not using mysql for auth, and there is no relevant config file in /etc containing 'mysql'.

I'm still having the mysql problem. But I can login to the server using Outlook Express. But I can't create directories, I get permission denied. What am I doing wrong?
