Dear All, I have a Cyrus-imapd problem thus I'd like to ask for help. Cyrus works smoothly for a couple of IMAP connections but after then it refuses connections with "User unknown" message. Certainly users and passwords are the same as before. I cannot handle this kind of operation, it seems somehow unstable. Configuration: Ubuntu server 5.10, cyrus 2.1.18, cyrus-sasl 2 2.1.19 (if it does matter) - I'm using binary official cyrus package for Ubuntu. /etc/imapd.conf: configdirectory: /var/lib/cyrus

up somehow. Process 6588 (started before the other) worked till I restart mail client (at about 21:43, I guess), then replies with badlogin messages, too. So what's wrong? Configuration or Ubuntu linux or what the heck? Please help!
