Cyradm was just an example tool. My main question was "How to troubleshoot IMAP connection to backend". I am unable to make a SELECT with imtest or any IMAP client. See below the results with imtest. [snip] S: L01 OK User logged in Authenticated. Security strength factor: 0 a SELECT INBOX a NO Server(s) unavailable to complete operation b SELECT user.user1.INBOX b NO Server(s) unavailable to complete operation and the log Mar 23 09:50:44 proxy1 cyrus/proxyd[12409]: connect(imapback.rescom.mi) failed: Invalid argument Why there is no communication when connecting to IMAP ? What does mean "connect(default) failed: Invalid argument" in the log ?
