Hi Simon, Thanks for your advice. It is my first time running cyrus-imap to setup a LAMP server. Most times I run courier-imap. This is a test running headless on installation and w/o X packages installed. The server is working. Postfix can send mails via telnet. I suppose it can also receive mail because the mail sent to "satimiscyrus" has not been rejected so far. But I can't locate the mail. Also neither I can login on SquirrelMail. On /etc/postfix/main.cf mailbox_transport = cyrus mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/run/lmtp User "satimiscyrus" is created with "useradd" $ sudo ls -la /home/satimiscyrus/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 2 satimiscyrus users 4096 2008-06-09 09:47 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-06-09 09:29 .. -rw------- 1 satimiscyrus users 74 2008-06-09 09:47 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 satimiscyrus users 220 2008-06-09 09:29 .bash_logout -rw-r--r-- 1 satimiscyrus users 414 2008-06-09 09:29 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 satimiscyrus users 2227 2008-06-09 09:29 .bashrc - snip - > > $ cyradm -u cyrus localhost > > Password: > > localhost> cm user.satimiscyrus > > localhost> quit > > > > it works.
