OK, I found the documentation here: /usr/share/doc/cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.23/options.html I had a maybe 2 mistakes which are commented below! Also SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/imapd from search access on the directory /var/lib/mysql. The fix for that is: # cat /var/log/messages | audit2allow -m local > imap-sql.te # checkmodule -M -m imap-sql.mod imap-sql.te # semodule_package -o imap-sql.pp -m imap-sql.mod # semodule -i imap-sql.pp WARNING: Do NOT just follow the above unless you know what you are doing! You actually need to do the first step above more than once then edit the imap-sql.te file before installing the policy.
