Finally, I have it fixed!!! What I had to do to resolve this problem was: 1) make sure mail was in the postfix group 2) I added "1" to lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1 Thanks everyone for your assistance. Couple of question however, a) since this is a SLES 10 SP1 server and I plan to move to SP4 soon, is there a rpm for the cyrus-imapd 2.4.9? and to upgrade it manually, if there is no cyrus-imapd rpm, the instructions seems very vague are there any good step-by-step instructions. b) is there a way to get the mail from an old outlook.pst file into this system?
