Thanks for the suggestion. I tried what you said bust the result was the same... Here is what my logfile looks like using a webmail imap client When I authenticate with 'user:pass' cyrus/imap[24503]: accepted connection cyrus/imap[24503]: login: servername [x.x.x.x] 'user' plaintext User logged in cyrus/imap[24503]: open: user 'user' opened INBOX now when I use 'user@domain:pass' cyrus/imap[24572]: accepted connection cyrus/imap[24572]: login: servername [x.x.x.x] 'user@domain' plaintext User logged in but no inbox is opened and no error is reported.
