<span style=" font-family:'default'; font-size: 10pt;">Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm concerned, perhaps for no reason, but I get that way when I don't fully understand what I am looking at so I am hoping someone can either point out what's wrong or say it's all as it should be.<br>
<br>
This is on a brand new installation of cyrus 2.3.14 setup with "virtual domains", alternate hierarchy separator ("/" instead of "."), full file hashing and it authenticates via a MySQL DB.<br>
<br>
Before starting cyradm I created the mailboxes <a href="mailto:user/Reg@seows.com">user/Reg@seows.com</a> and <a href="mailto:user/Sales@seows.com">user/Sales@seows.com</a> (and their children) through my own web application I wrote just for cyrus IMAP (basic mailbox admin. only for my users create/delete/rename/change password and that's all).<br>
<br>
This is the cyradm session I just had and there are some things that don't make sense so I have put my questions in the session at the points where it seems strange to me...<br>
<br>
<b>>cyradm -u root<br>
cyradm> lm *<br>
</b>listmailbox: no connection to server<br>
<br>
<i>root is a global admin. I thought logging on as a global user meant you did not specify a domain but when you don't you get this error. Next logon as global admin but use default domain.<br>
<br>
</i><b>cyradm> exit<br>
<br>
a>cyradm -u root@localhost localhost<br>
</b>Password: <br>
<br>
<i>Hopefully this is now the global admin login and I can work on all domain accounts.<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm<br>
localhost> lm user/*<br>
<br>
</b><i>I thought this was supposed to list all accounts but it looks like it wants to ignore them all when you don't specify a domain.<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm user/*@seowebsales.com<br>
</b>user/Reg/Drafts@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Reg/Sent@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Reg/Trash@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Reg@seowebsales.com (\HasChildren) <br>
user/Sales/Drafts@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Sales/Sent@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Sales/Trash@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Sales@seowebsales.com (\HasChildren) <br>
<br>
<i>Fair enough, this works.<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm user/*@localhost<br>
localhost> lm user/*@neutrino<br>
localhost> cm user/root@localhost<br>
localhost> cm user/cyrus@localhost<br>
<br>
</b>I've just created two users in the default domain, is that going cause problems because you are also supposed be able to use these without a domain? <br>
<br>
Could I have done "cm user/root" and "cm user/cyrus" and would this be the more correct way to do this?<br>
<br>
<b>localhost> lm user/*@localhost<br>
</b>user/cyrus (\HasNoChildren)<br>
<br>
<i>Why is "root@localhost" that I just created not listed?<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm *@localhost<br>
</b>user/Reg/Drafts@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Reg/Sent@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>

user/Sales/Trash@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Sales@seowebsales.com (\HasChildren) <br>
user/cyrus (\HasNoChildren) <br>
<br>
<i>Is this right? To show all mailboxes in all domains you do "lm *@localhost" or is there something wrong with my setup?<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm *@localhost<br>
</b>user/Reg/Drafts@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>

<br>
<b>localhost> lm *<br>
</b>INBOX (\HasNoChildren) <br>
<br>
<b>localhost> lm<br>
</b>INBOX (\HasNoChildren) <br>
<br>
<i>Why is there the special INBOX here but not for each of my created mailboxes in the various domains? <br>
Is this how it is supposed to be?<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> cm support@seows.com<br>
<br>
</b><i>Let's create a non-default domain mailbox through cyradm and see if we get the all important INBOX.<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm *@seows.com<br>
</b>user/Reg/Drafts@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Reg/Sent@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>

user/Sales/Trash@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren) <br>
user/Sales@seowebsales.com (\HasChildren) <br>
user/support@seowebsales.com (\HasNoChildren)<br>
<br>
<i>Nope, no other INBOXes. Perhaps I misread how INBOXes are meant to work, is there only meant to one for the whole installation?<br>
<br>
</i><b>localhost> lm <br>
</b>INBOX (\HasNoChildren) <br>
<b>localhost> lm *<br>
</b>INBOX (\HasNoChildren) <br>
<b>localhost> lm *@*<br>
<br>
</b><i>Just double checking for more mailboxes but all looks the same.<br>
<br>
</i>That's it. Does this look right? I'm gearing up to make my server live soon so I need to make sure everything is working as it should.<br>
<br>
Thanks heaps! in advance.<br>

Oh, and in case it's useful here is my configuration:<br>
