Hi Evgeniy! > For example, I wish this to be the case ("login name" -> "mailbox"): > > username -> user/firstname.lastname@domain > firstname.lastname@domain -> user/firstname.lastname@domain First of all, I personally don't recommend this naming scheme for a number of reasons: 1. Names of people may change over time or just need a correction. But renaming a mailbox in Cyrus is non trivial! 2. Same for domain names. Think additional domain names, for example. We have set up our system in a way that the mailbox name is an entirely arbitrary technical id, such as XXXyyyyy with XXX beding a kind of group / customer prefix and yyyyy being just a unique number. Independent of that and despite a number of wrong answers to this question on the archives of this list: If the authentication id of the user (commonly called "username") and the mailbox name are going to be any different from each other, you need to use a canon_user sasl plugin to make this happen. You can *not* solve this using any kind of mapping which is hidden in your authentication mechanism, such as PAM or LDAP, simple because after a successful authentication imapd / popd will always search for a mailbox with the name of the authentication id and the only hook you have there is the canon_user API, which is what the canon_user API got made for.
