Hi Simon,
OK I'll start again using cyrus.conf defualt and imapd.conf default.
If I make a wrong step please inform me. Thanks.
$ sudo cp -p /etc/cyrus.conf /etc/cyrus.conf.bak_20080615
$ sudo cp /etc/cyrus.conf.origin.20080606 /etc/cyrus.conf
$ sudo cp -p /etc/imapd.conf /etc/imapd.conf.bak_20080615
$ sudo cp -p /etc/imapd.conf.origin.20080526 /etc/imapd.conf
$ cat /etc/imapd.conf | grep unixhierarchysep
unixhierarchysep: no
$ sudo nano /etc/cyrus.conf
Making following changes;
SERVICES {
# --- Normal cyrus spool, or Murder backends ---
# add or remove based on preferences
imap cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0
maxchild=100
imaps cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0
maxchild=100
#pop3 cmd="pop3d -U 30" listen="pop3" prefork=0
maxchild=50
#pop3s cmd="pop3d -s -U 30" listen="pop3s" prefork=0

Adding following lines at the end of the file;

user.satimiscyrus (\HasNoChildren)

user.bbb.bbb (\HasNoChildren)
user^groupware (\HasNoChildren)
user^satimiscyrus (\HasNoChildren)
It is working now. On SquirrelMail emails on INBOX/Trash can be
deleted. Accounts aaa, satimiscyrus and bbb are working.
What shall I do with account user.bbb.bbb, user^groupware and
user^satimiscyrus?
Shall I run "dm user.bbb.bbb" etc. to delele them while running on
'cyradm'?
If permission denied whether I can run "sam user.aaa cyrus all" first?
Please advise. TIA.
B.R.
